AntonioGG Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Yeah I loved it!  I declined 2 meeting invitations for this afternoon (even though I have this time blocked out) so I could make it today.  I’ll try to be as ruthless about declining meetings for this time at possible.  I do have to admit it’s easier accepting those meetings when it’s 100F+.

It was pretty bearable - I spent quite a bit of the summer in the mountains, and have generally only ridden in the morning since I got back, so I was somewhat of a wuss. Glad I took gears! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad I took gears! It was a good ride, Im always happy I can follow someone since I have a vague idea of the routes.  Downside is sucking Moondust for an hour.

Chongo Loco Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 After I lost y’all I rode for a bit but throat started to feel like I swallowed a pine cone so bailed before bmx loop. That dust is killer! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntonioGG Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 That awful sound coming from my bike turned out to be the moon dust on my chain. I had to dip it in the ultrasonic cleaner and re-lube. @WhoAmI check that chain on y'alls test bike. I couldn't believe that was where the noise was coming from.

AustinBike Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 See, that is where the singlespeed pays off at Walnut - shorter chain, less noise 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Steinerranchians hit Walnut …. "Lost" is a misnomer... Not sure which turn to take about 30 times is more accurate. Started with Windy Loop and came back by start to see if I could find someone to follow... nope. Lets turn on a saved course. What no saved Walnut Course? Lets sync from phone- nope cant do that while GPS is running. Didnt want to kill the ride, so whatever I'll wing it. Found myself at root drop which I hadnt seen for years, ah yes cross here turn R... wait the ^&^% GPS is isnt running. Turn on. Must have ridden the section after the dam like 5 times to find the log loops- still rode them in some weird order. F this Im going to get a beer- good news I know how to get back.. so I thought. Somehow I missed the main "road" and ended up coming up behind the pool. Likely as the dust was making my shock squeak on every slight bump I lost focus. Oh well the Hot dogs, beers and company made up for it. Garmin now has the course saved back on it, and I'll hold off visiting until the dust gets knocked down some.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
