Splendid ride today. Some hero dirt out there..

Minus the actual mountains and the leaf blowing crap, pedaling through some of the nooks and valleys felt like a wintery day in North Carolina.


All the delicate flowers in our group who aren't riding are really missing out. :D

In the cleavage of the Tetons
So, that's part of a massive gas-line project the is going to go from the jungle/Brazil to the Pacific Ocean. Bit of a boondoggle. But they have built and maintain thousands of miles of private roads that we get to use for shuttling. (that is at 15,000 feet).

Say it was tacky without saying it was tacky.

Now that the freezing temps are here, whats your method for cleaning off the bike when it gets dirty like that?

My bike is still in the car, coated in crud. I'm reluctant to try the hose... I think I usually just brush it off after a while, but thats not ideal for the chain and whatnot.

I usually just brush the dirt off and lube the drivetrain. But for this, I have no method. Since summer bike season seems to be over I'll
just bring it in and do the annual tear down.

Nice. Messed around on some trails. Picked up and moved a bunch of fallen crap from recent trees.





Other than some weird shifting, probably caused by a stick going into the derailleur each of the last few rides, man the bike feels so good right now. I really need to take some time are start writing my settings down before riding.
