Whenever I ride the Webster Hojack trail I try to have no dismounts. Today I rode the entire length and back and had to dismount only two times, once in each direction. The first was a mud hole, and the second was because of heavy traffic at a crossroad.
I also stopped at the west end to take a break, but that was the plan.
Mj was considering joining me again today, but wasn't sure. She texted me during my ride to say it wasn't happening, and I managed to reach behind me, unzip the bottom section of my CamelBak, get my phone out, read the basic idea of her texts, memorize her phone number (my phone sucks), called her back, and talked for a minute, all while continuing to ride! Haha... well I guess that's not so hard to do on flat trail. But for a lot of it I wasn't even looking where I was going!
I also took some pictures while I rode.
The section of trail of the east end that leads to the Hojack was crazy muddy. I walked the edge of it. It would have been fun but not worth the mess this time.
I also stopped at the west end to take a break, but that was the plan.
My new uni is working out well. I found a hill to experiment with my new brake. The results weren't so good. While the brake works very well, my technique was lacking and in the first 5 seconds I leaned too far back and found myself on the ground. A my left arm met up with a root.
I rode it enough tonight to know that I'm going to love it. I don't have any downhills in my yard or neighborhood to try the brakes on yet. The trails are calling me.
I also got a second rim. Hmm... why would I do that?
