Camp spot is behind OTE which is at bottom of hill coming into town. Not all the slowing down trucks were quiet but I slept thru.
This AM I hung around shop for a while waiting for day heat then weorked on my bike in nthe sun to install the new Reverb. Success. Chiropractor Dan drove up while I was finishing up. He beat my phone call. Another of my many interesting riding buddies I have.
Next I drove to ST George to ride the Santa Clara trails as the Hurricane Rim trail is still too wet. Santa Clara trails are more crushed rock than clay and if it was going to be wet trails these would be pretty dry. I parked across the river and just b4 the beat up road climbed to TH. I watched a woman rider climb up a jeep road behind my van. I checked it out and it climbed up to water tank avoiding the nasty road. Cool. From the TH I rode Twister then over to Barrelroll. Only several wet spots.
Really enjoying the seat dropper now that it rises sufficiently fast from just a push with my right thumb on a bar mounted button and the seat goes down if I am sitting or rises if standing. The lower the seat the lower I can sqaut or pedal. Going down I sort of crouch which lowers my center of gravity lessening the lever arm which allows my tires to bite better. I found climbing is sweet also as I can drop the seat just a little and still pedal sitting down which agains lower my COG. This is fun. There is a weight penalty. I sure am not a weight ninnie, this bike is not a race bike.
Caught shower @ Washington rece center.
Bought fresh pistachios outside of Hurricane. This years nuts and they are sooo good. Fresh.
Brief meeting w/ Fixie Dave as he headed out on his fixed gear ride. He has a neat mutton chop beard.
Drove out to upper GEM TH for night. Beautiful sunset on the sand stone. Very pretty. desert.
