The 1st Ride

Today I went for the first real ride on it since getting it last Thursday.  I went out to Pinehill for a short test loop to make sure everything was all right for the 1st shake down since being built.  Everything checked out, but the chain does rub on the tire on occasion... whenever climbing is involved.  I can live with it.  The ride itself was awesome with the exception of the humidity and the heat.  I can take the heat, but the humidity; like everyone else I can do without.  It rolled great, and the tires offered the right amount of cush.  I am definitely glad i got rid of the Enduro now!  I don't think I'll ever go back to skinny tires again!  I'm hooked for life.  I may need to upgrade to larger rotors though.  The 160mm rotors were a little out matched for my weight, but all in all it was a fantastic ride and I can't wait for my schedule to open up for another ride soon.  Too bad none of my buds were around to ride today, but oh well,  c'est la vie!
