Scott's Ride Blog

So I bagged out the am ride as I was soooooo tired and my bike was a mess as I haven't touched it since Kernville! So I worked on the bike totally removed the derailuers and cleaning it up. I also need new brakes and need to install my new Maxxis tires for Moab... But off to Mission Trails I was and I was looking to beat myself up... I started off going up the visitor center climb and I didn't stop there I went all the way to the top of the Mesa no dabs! (that us 1 mile @ 15% avg grade!) Then down to the 52 and back up the side of North Fortuna and I cleared the top section!!!! That is the first time I've done that in clipless pedals! Drivers on the 52 prob heard me yell in pain/excitement. Down E-ticket and thru the canyon up S turns where I dabbed once I was so mad as it would have been so sick to clear it at the pace I was going but it was a quick dab and prob didn't really slow me down. Down the fire road (hence the ~30moh mark on the speed chart) and back to the car hammering all the way. Finished and was hurting that was the hardest 8 mile ride I've every done! Def at race pace I didn't let up or stop once! Activity Route: -- Elev. Avg: 528 ft Location: La Mesa, CA Elev.
