I rode the Stiffee tonight for the first time in ages, it’s been a bit neglected of late because I’ve been favouring the simplicity of the rigid singlespeed Kona Unit. It felt quite odd being back on the Stiffee, I kept forgetting to change gear, and forgot to disable the lockout on the forks until I’d ridden most of the first off-road section. It was a pretty good ride in the end, I didn’t crash and rip my top for a change, and the trails were nice and firm despite all the recent rain. I picked up a shiny new Deda UltraCarbon stem for the road bike on the way back through town, it looks pretty nice now it’s been fitted so I probably ought to ride that bike tomorrow to test things out.
I also passed 1500 miles for the year on tonights ride, I’ll need to do a few more rides before the end of the month to keep on track.
SuperGran has worked her magic again and repaired the repaired repairs on the wooley top!
Ripping holes is the main reason I won’t buy woolen products.. oh and the cost.
