Ordered new wheels, brakes, tires, the last of which arrived while I was doing a brake bleed on the mountain bike after riding that this morning. Got all the goodies installed on the gravel bike and promptly took it out for a test ride. The problem I've been having with the gravel bike is that everything around my house has been getting super sandy over the past 3 years, making it nearly impassible with standard skinny gravel tires. Now, I have dimensionally the same size wheels and tires on my mountain and gravel bikes. The gravel bike tears through the sand actually better than my mountain bike, who would have guessed! Starting from the house I jumped on the power line road down to the FINS parking area, then Lum Wash north from Westar to Westar. Climbed up the Westar Hill, turned around at the top and bombed back down. Back on FINS trails, took the easy two track up to the Vista View saddle, then Rusty Rake, Spent Spade, and Connie's Causeway, back to the powerline and home. Super impressed with the new ride. Saw one hiking couple on the powerline road. |
