My first hydraulic brake system that finds me with no complaints. so far. Night and day performance from the BB7’s that were previously on the bike. So much nicer than the Hayes die-hards on my old Enduro. Why did I wait so long?

I have been wanting for YEARS to ride to Tom Thumb. A quick loop that includes some fine singletrack that reminded me of some of the Pinnacle Peak Cactus Cup course of years ago. Nice trails.

I should have brought my filter. This spring was running pretty well. Must remember to always bring filter.

most of the way up the hill, all I could think about was the mountain lion - not sure if it existed or not, but he was freaking me out.

the way out. the plan was to ride to the N. end of 136th street, but a shortage of water kept me to some roads till I hit power line dirt roads over to Reach 11.
Some new ability to use satellite images on the GPS device allowed easier navigation. For sure.

A few rides of note in the next month or so. A 2 nite backpacking somewhere from the house on either my mountain bike or the cross bike. FOTP later next month. A review of the bike is in order. I am in no hurry.
