I DIDN'T Ride My Bike Today, Cuzz....

Running too low pressure and burped the tire? Rider weight/7 + 2 doesn’t work for vans.

 

It happened over a 3 hour span. I parked the van, and came out to move it because the street sweeper was coming, and it was flat. Driver's side rear.
Could not have been under- inflated because I just got a compressor a week ago and anything that could be inflated, and was within 50ft of it, got inflated and pressure checked with a digital guage.
I need to get new tires anyway...

 

You hadnt refreshed the Stans in that tire recently, had you?

 

I've had that happen to me before. It was in the garage so I know nobody let the air out. I fired up the compressor and pumped it back up to find the leak and nothing.

 

Cuzz... I ain't even driving anywhere.

 

Looks like a great day for indoor sports.

 

Between parades, brunch, and giving away a jacuzzi on CL,



and then family pics up at Loch Leven... a full day with no mileage.

 

The wind up here in the high desert did indeed kill my chances to ride today. We stuck around the house and did handyman repairs/upkeep. Even a little bit of painting.

 

Aptly named truck!

Stoked to see the white stuff in CO, even if it did pin you down today. CO is typically very lean on snow until February. Would love to get in a few quality runs at Christmas/New Years this year.

 

Santa, that you!?!?

 

You must ne thinking of Postal Pat.

 

Nope.

 

Finished up a little project in the front. Before picture is in the insert. Removed the hedge, chased the roots, patched the wall and wood. The wall behind that snaggled out hedge was an old color - baby diarrhea mustard - so I had to repaint the front section and the wood posts that project out. Decided a succulent patch might be low maintenance and be able to take the southern exposure.

 

I rode these 3 beasts instead

 

Skypark will wait til tomorrow. New mailbox installed today, mounted the license plate to my dirtbike, ran some errands and stopped at the LBS. Planning a route in Sedona now that the wife and Daughter inlaw are joining us. They will be movie watching or something and the boy and I will ride. Shuttle adventure from Aerie TH to the Movie Theater, should be fun.

 

Took a cruise around Lake Arrowhead..

 

Sweet

 

And the winner is?

 

I surprised myself and really liked the Habit...

 

I was hesitant to try it after @mtnbikej feedback from last week. I tried the lowest spec carbon model. I think. It didn't have piggyback on the shock like the top two models.
But the frame said Si, and on the website I see they just go by number....

Dropper worked way better than the two speccies I rode, just felt great all around... Hopefully J just had a dud....

 

Yesterday actually. Drove to Zion with the wife and kids, we're here for a few days .

 

I owe, I owe, so off to work I go...

 

Surfed yesterday (Saturday) - at a non-bike riding location (Trail 1).

Might still hit the Pivot Demo this afternoon. I hope not to be able to post on this thread by the end of the day.

 

Your son looks pretty comfy as captain.

 

That Cannondale had no chance... It didn't say "Santa Cruz" on the side, and they tried to give him an e-moto first!

 

I did the same, surfed Trail 1 mid day on low tide. Then hit San Clemente singletracks in the late afternoon. Good times!

 

I'll ride for you.

 

We checked out some new dirt, er, mud today on foot.


That roadcut mound on the other side of the freeway is the start of Dakota Ridge. It heads away from the POV so you can’t see it. We’re really on the same ridge, just north of the freeway roadcut.

 

Nor Cal?

 

Epilogue:
I can't post here today.
