Daniel L. and I met at the Camelsback Parking lot at 7:50am to brave the 19 deg temps. Actually there was -0- wind and it was pretty warm with the layers. I did most of the ride without the windbreaker. Shortly after starting I realize I am stuck in low gear (on the 34 tooth) with a seized up rear der. I played with it a little but no dice. So, I faux dingle speeded (swiching between the small and middle front rings) the 9miles up the Freeway to the top of Hulls and back down. Slippery slidery out there too. I think the total number of miles "pedaled" would've been close to 12 had the bike computer be linked to the rear tire since traction was at a minimum. I even let the air down to about 15 on the Maxxis High Roller 2.35 in the rear to get whatever traction I could get. Saw about 6 other mtb'ers out there, mostly on the way back. Tons of walkers/runners and doggies. Gotta love this weather.
Home by 10am-ish, just in time for more coffee and Leggo Waffles. WORD.
