Got in two decent rides in the last couple of days. Saturday I took the steamroller out for a 22 mile ride, the longest ride on the bike yet. Great ride and a pretty decent time, although a pretty fierce headwind on the way back did slow me down some. MotionX GPS output can be found here. I think I have the bike set up pretty much the way I want it with the exception of the freewheel, a white industries 17 tooth will soon replace the current shimano one.
Yesterday afternoon I got up with the 29er singlespeed posse, now officially named "More Beers - Less Gears," for some time in and around Seashore State Park. We parked outside of the park and took the main trail through about halfway until we reached a previously unknown and unmapped offshoot. What a great little trail, plenty of log crossings, tight twisty singletrack and up and downs. The end of the trail put us out on 81st street, after a hike a bike up the largest sand dune I've ever seen in VB. We took the access road back to the Park entrance on 64th, down through the park to the boat ramp and then doubled back on the main trail until we got back to car. Ride took us about 2 hours and a total of about 15 miles. MotionX GPS output here.
