Dirty Enduro

So, this week is the final bit of prep for this sundays fun at Paul's Dirty Enduro.

Right now packing the race crate with parts and such. Taking the usual stuff ELoad, Gels, Iskiate, and of course Perpeteum. One of course cannot forget the packing of Embrocation as one wouldn't want to get any form of stiffness on race day.

The decision was made to bring the concubine to the race. The concubine was most convincing in her persuasion to be allowed to be raced. Maybe it had something to do with the new fork she was given. But it should be noted that she reminded me that for this type of event that speed was better.

However the Mistress will be coming for the journey. Of course as a back up in case things go wrong. But on Sunday I would like to take her for a Don Valley loving.

Dead Beat

Yep, I admit it. I have been a blog dead beat.

Got the new fork for the 29er and almost have it dialed in. So now it comes down to a decision for Paul's Dirty Enduro. Ride the Mistress or the 29er? Basically be race fast or ensure I finish no problem as the Mistress is strong and tough. Decisions, decisions. Go light and fast or strong and steady?

Forks of Plush

Just received my 29er fork in the mail. Looks good now just need to mount it.

In the last week have taken it easy with the 29er and spent more time on the Mistress. It's amazing how much strength you lose when one doesn't ride the beast hardtail.

Later today will be doing a CB area ride.

Forks

Been almost a month. Not much new other then riding.

Well, because of being laid off I cancelled the J&J race on the 26th. Was much more interested in rinding with friends.

On the gear front have just got my hands on a fork through Ebay. My hands will be thanking me for this. No more numbness.

Nothing else new.

Rode some of the Don trails today. Dead as hell in there, it seemed like everyone disappeared.

Have been working on a dirtbag pack project. Right now gathering the materials I need. Once that is done I'll be able to finish what I want. But till then I'll keep it quiet.

Tomorrow have a moving job so will help with the race finances.

Boardwak

Yesterday played around on a rooty trail near the house, actually it's my TT track. The boardwalk bridge goes over a marsh and has really become overgrown.

Recent pic of the 29er with the upgrades to date. Still want to replace the shifters for Pauls Thumbies and get a suspension fork.

Shovel Head

Rode the CB trails for 1.5 hours with about a half hour stop for trail work. Fixed up the dirt transition that was needing to be fixed on a new feature.

Then headed out for the rest of the ride. Found some new features and a new trail to try. One section showed that really need a seat collar QR ASAP. Being able to drop the saddle is a good idea.

Hopefully tomorrow when I go by the shop to pick up what I have left there I can double check the data. Though I will probably go by Cyclepath to confirm some of the numbers.
