Enduro bikes on the brain...................

Endomondo Cycling Workout

Endomondo Cycling Workout: was out cycling 13.19 km in 1h:01m:09s using Endomondo.

Pretty mellow ride.  Trail was super slick.  Tried out an LX derailleur to replace my mangled one...it was rapid rise so...taking a little getting used to...will most likely swap back to the regular XT or may treat myself to a rediculously expensive and not needed XTR...I think xmas gift via jenson gift certificates for this one ;)

Off to Bond......James Bond...

It started and really...ended as a beautify fall riding experience.  The one unfortunate event is I am now shopping for a new rear derailleur...Shimano RD M772 actually and a derailleur hanger as the ones that were once part of my literally BOMB proof Giant Trance is torqued and twisted beyond repair.  Luckily it happend close to the end.  Had a 5 km walk/bike skateboard ride back home.  All is good, however, trails are SO pristine right now that down time from the mountain bike is really NOT what I'm looking for lately.

Spent, probably 3 hours straight today, watching enduro vids......really looking forward to pulling trigger on this dirt bike thang.  Spring will be an exciting time of year. Pretty much confirmed on the following rigs:

2005 Honda CRF 250F; Yamaha WR 250F or KTM EX 250W....still toying with the idea of the 400 or 450 after test riding the WR 400
