Daley Ranch Ride

First Ride at Daley Ranch Cool place! 1st holy Shit there were a ton of people there... I was 30mins early for the ride (parked at 8:30am had to park on street lot was full) with in 20 mins full totally! 2nd It doesn't drain that well, all the decents basically had water flowing down them, though the dirt is not as sandy as most socal places so it was still a fun ride.... 3rd I learned a HUGE lesson today.... Never put a new chain on with an old granny gear! Chain SUCK! Yea I put a new chain on at the beginning of the year was getting a bit of chain suck, but today with all the mud I couldn't even pedal up the last 2 climbs.... its was BAD I was soooo mad... I worked on the bike for 2hrs last night and couldn't understand why it was so bad! So ride it self, was fun! it def could have been drier but this place has great potential, lots of not so tek double track climbs.... fun flowy, fun def going back there soon!
