Met up with a bunch of folks downtown to ride through downtown and winter park on mountain bikes. I rode my bike from home to downtown for the meet up. Unfortunately, I had to be home by around 9:45, so that cut my ride short. I was hoping to get in 40 miles, but I only rode about an hour with the group and then had to head back home. All together I got 30 miles in. Next time I will make sure to leave time time open that I can do the whole ride and hang out with the group afterwards.
It was a huge group of mountain bikers though. I would say about 20 people showed up to ride. Im kinda glad I had to leave early though, since my headlight died before I got home, and I lost my tail light on some random stair or curb jump. Arg! I need good lights if I want to ride at night, for sure. Oh - and I bought more stuff for the bike:
Salsa skewers
Easton Monkeylite lo-rise bars
Easton EC70 Seatpost.
The skewers that came with the bike are complete crap, and have let go several times during rides - once this past wednesday at the E-Center ride. That is something that is super dangerous and either a> destroy your wheels and/or b> send you off the bike.
E-Center challenge is on again tonight after work. I am hoping to beat the 1:19 of last week, but I was sick for a couple of days Sunday/Monday. I feel mostly better, but last night after riding I felt a little sick.
