So I went out yesterday for my first ride on my fatty. So first things to note I’ve not ridden for 10weeks 😥 and I got that crappy chest/flu bug that’s going round so I’m way off par at the moment.
So the bike one one fatty, I’ve not ridden anything like this before and I picked it up on here a week or so ago once together it looks very nice seems to just look right only complaint as this is my second on one bike the Avid brakesare just poor im not gonna blame the seller as not only is this my second on one!its my third set of avid elixirs and they are crap every set have needed bleeding with in a few rides and these where the same,lever straight back to the bars very poor!!
So on with some formulas I have here and away I go.
So tyres set front at 9psi and rear at 10.5 straight out of the car park and into the trees and a little run down which I’ve done a hundred times before on to the fireroad left turn little up and it’s fun, turn right in to a rooty cross over mmmmm!
Right pop some air out these big boys and have a good cough (bloody chest) and up now it starts to make sense total grip bit bouncy but right. Right turn into some singletrack now it starts to open up and Blimey this thing rips, corners goes over rooty bits with ease such fun now the smile comes,now onto more fireroad climbs and back down into what we call the triple 3 sections of tight singletrack and in I go, fantastic it just wants to go and gets through and round some pretty tight sections with surprising ease.
So in summery even though I’m fat,unfit and still coughing like ansob, I enjoyed the few miles I did and looking forward to feeling better and doing more miles on it.
So to finish of 😀
