Robi came back to town again for more work on his tat. This time we rode at Dryer Park in Victor.
It was in the 60's and low humidity and trail conditions were perfect. We rode about 80% of last year's Fat Tire Festival course, but then broke away from it. I think we both had the most fun on Owl's Maze. We were both riding 24" wheels but Robi rides faster and seemed to have endless energy. After leading for a minute, I let Robi pass. I kept losing ground and it wasn't long before we were passing by each other in opposite directions. Owl's Maze is rather awesome like that. The trail winds so much and keeps passing by a place you were just at a minute ago. It seems never ending. Looking back at my GPS, it took about 8 minutes to get down. It must have taken some real dedication to build that trail and to make it fill in the all the space that it does.
Robi had asked what size muni to bring and with Dryer in mind I thought I'd ride my 24". My 26" fat tire wouldn't be ideal because of the fat tire, and I think my 29er is too big for me on tight hilly trails. Robi brought his 24" but in hindsight thought his 26" would have been better. I too thought a bigger wheel would have been smoother. I sure could use a non-fat tire 26" muni, don't you think?
