Easy morning jog round the hood. Legs felt springy and I might have pushed it just a bit harder than I should have; I usually run this loop in 40-41 minutes before a race. No biggie.

Connecting the other two activites on roads.

Midday adult class.

Singletrack at CC Lake. Wasn't sure how well I'd do on the ditch crossings with the full-rigid, but it turns out to be easier because you don't have to worry about the rebound kicking the front wheel off the ground when you come up the other side. After a few tentative dips, I was pretty much hammering through them full speed. The 58 is a bit too much gear for this trail, but I wasn't in any danger of stalling, even on the tight switchbacks. The simplicity of just pedalling and not worrying about gears or shock settings is really liberating. It's funny that, even though the initial reason for getting the bike is now obsolete, it's becoming my most favorite toy.
