Road sections were a PITA and my gear was too high for the flats and too low for the hills. Lots of walking up hills but it was still a good time on the bike. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember my tires, but probably a slightly faster rolling WTB tire. But yeah. Geared for trails, not the 40+ miles of asphalt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WLemke Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Geeze. Was expecting to get a bunch of rain today but it does not seem to be the case. Maybe we’ll get an R&I today. Can anyone confirm the absence or presence of significant precipitation in the Walnut area?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AustinBike Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 (edited) Well if we are gonna brag about EBs and tires, the best EBs are the ones you do on your own because you are not going to be there on the day. Then it gets canceled because of weather. And, *technically* you end up in second place. But, arguably, you also came in last place because only two people did it that year. And the guy that beat you beat you by several hours. On a singlespeed. But, the tires were Ardent 2.4's.

AntonioGG Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I thought we were discussing only our first EBs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 I'm supposing not. The trails were marginal to bad yesterday except for Windy, which was terrible. Rainfall total only shows 0.04" this morning, but it sure seemed like more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
