UPDATE: I road some of the same roads Saturday with some others subbed in - same area, but this time road my full suspension MTB.
My buddy, road his hardtail again, but had gone to 1.5" tires since our last ride. When I was on the gravel bike last time, I dropped him on the climbs and he scorched me on the downhills.
This time we were similar on the climbs and flats until the end he pulled ahead. I stayed with him on the downhills but could have pulled ahead especially on the really washboard stuff b/c his rear end was literally bouncing off the ground and his chain was making a ruckus.
I didn't take enough pics to really show the terrain type -but here are a few and some others for the heck of it.
So, I'll be getting skinnier tires this week and we have a 60 miler cooked up for this weekend. This will be my 3rd bike ride after not being on a bike in a year or more and my legs are enjoying the break from long jarring
trail runs and I'm hoping the biking helps my overall running game.
