Weather was a nice 67 degrees so T and I went to the typical Swansea Library loop to run the Time Trials course. I was hell bent on trying the course on the HiFi, hoping that after the epic rides out west, I would have some steam to match my time on the Kona. T just felt like going for a ride...so I started on the course first, with her close behind. I had recommended that she skip loop 1 and head to loop 2 in order to synchronize our finish. The theory would have worked but some jamoke had moved a boulder, with orange arrow, in the wrong direction. T, not knowing exactly where the course leads, got sidetracked. I flew by her while yelling "this way!".
I came in at the same time as previously clocked on the Kona, 26 minutes. Time could be a little skewed due to running into some horse's ass (three in fact) along the trail. What the hell is this, national ride a horse week? Anyway, I watched the clock while waiting for the horses to clear the trail and decremented 2 minutes from my total time. Surprisingly I matched the Kona 29er, since I know it's a faster bike. Go HiFi!
Good little ride, 3.5 miles for me, 3 miles for T.
Happy Trails,
OMMB
