Was hoping to squeek in a mt ride at the local trails with Shaun and F-bomb today...well it kind of happened...but not really. It all went awry when plan went from ride out from my house to load up and drive 5 k to trail....silly...just silly...for me anyways.
Pace was pretty full on with the sound of the front tire ripping into the flesh of mother nature on every turn...perhaps it was the comment about air pressure pre-ride that jinxed it...I'm starting to experiment with air in anything that contains it....forks, shocks and now tires...trying to run lower and lower to improve grip and cornering. Well...it was working....for a while anyways.
Head was in check and flow was floamy flowy!! Double rock bridge became my nemesis....slow leak...DAMMIT..the one day I DON'T BRING A TUBE. Shaun comes to rescue and luckily non bugs to make the experience unpleasant. Nice to use my pump to see how it works anyways..and that's when it got weird.
Fil starts pissing off Mutha nature...specifically about how man should genetically alter the state of the planet to eliminate all bugs and keep weather on a super sweet note allll the time. I think shaun agreed and then we heard a hiss....his rear tire lost air..no extra tube as I just used his...fair enough..a little strange but not unusual..then it got weird..
We were creeping out with shaun riding his bike with Fil at the rear checking his phone when it was ringing...he stopped and we heard a lound HISSsssssss...His rear tire pops...ok....a little too weird now.
Message learned...don't piss off Mutha nature...no stats posted...'cause with flat...just ridiculous.
