Today:
Mt. Bike 25 miles
Yesterday:
Run 8 miles
Bike 11 miles
Lift 16 lifts
-3 sets of 12 reps.
Got the Monkey out for 25 miles today. He runs like a champ. I knew it would climb more smoothly than my FS 26" Gary Fisher, but what I didn't expect was how smooth it felt coming down. Today was my first off road ride on a hardtail in about 3 years. I remember my first ride on my first Full Suspension bike about 4 years ago. I felt like I had discovered a new world of biking. And the funny thing is that I felt that way today about getting on a hardtail 29er. I'm riding it right now with a Reba fork but sometime soon I'll set it up with the rigid fork that came with the frame and see how I like that. And eventually I'll have to try it out as a singlespeed. It's so fun having such a versatile bike. Anyone interested in buying a full-suspension Gary Fisher Sugar? I don't think I'll be needing mine anymore.

Enjoy the gears and Reba. I'm warning you that once you go rigid SS you may not go back. A lot of people get sucked in!
and whatever you do don'y try it fixed!
Also clean cothes are overrated!
Hey Geof,
Good choice on the new wheels. Karate Monkey == awesome sauce. I'm warning you, you go rigid SS you'll be hooked. I was!
I must admit that I am jealous of your Reba. There are days I think that I would like a suspension fork. Does it clear the downtube OK or did you have to get one of those extended headsets?
Regards,
Anthony
hey anthony,
yeah, i had to get the cane creek headset with 5mm extra on the bottom and i still didn't have enough clearance so i also added a ventana 7mm crown race and with the two combined i have about 2-3 mm of clearance. haven't noticed any problems with the way that rides and at least i don't have to worry anymore about damaging my frame and/or fork once i take that hard fall that's bound to happen one of these days soon.
