Top Ten Reasons to Ride Twice in One Day...

#10) It's Two-For Tuesday
#9) Bikeworks asked you to join them on a demo ride of Pivot Cycles bikes, AND you already had plans to take the dog for a ride
#8) You were frustrated about your inability to keep up with the sham-wow pace of the demo ride, so staying ahead of the dog at your own pace on ride 2 makes you feel more accomplished
#7) It's going to rain Wednesday, so ride twice on Tuesday
#6) It's Double-Shot Tuesday, the WHJY version of #10
#5) You needed to practice the new little trail you followed on the first ride
#4) You wanted to even out the bleeding on each leg; one took a gear bite on the first ride, the other got a good scratch on the second ride
#3) It's TWOsday (I know, I'm running out of ideas)
#2) The dog was upset when you came back from the first ride without him
#1) And the #1 reason to ride twice in one day.....................because you CAN!  :)


Here's the tracks (first ride with Matt, Scott, Steve, OMMB, nice-guy Dan a Mavic rep, and awesome Tom from Pivot / Second ride Jesse and OMMB):

The bikes....






...I rode the blue 29er (Mach 429), which was a good solid ride, and the black, blue and white 26 carbon (Mach 5.7), which was the most nimble and quick 26er I've been on (real nice travel on the shocks)!  The upcoming 29er carbon is sure to be a kickass bike. All bikes had great components...look 'em up sometime.  http://www.pivotcycles.com/bikes


Tidbits:

Here's why I use a bash guard in place of the big ring
(can you tell I don't ride road?)






















Jesse doesn't find the mud, the mud finds Jesse...





Now here's a tired pup!

What?  I'm fine!!



Happy Trails,
OMMB
