Been tinkering around with the squishy bike suspension a bit. Ordered the volume spacer kit for the shock, installed the largest one for a more exponential compression curve, dropped 10psi, and I'm in love. A lot more small bump compliance, yet not even close to bottoming out on some fairly technical stuff Sunday. Have the fork volume spacers on order also. We went and rode White Twister and Stonewall Falls in Tiger GA. I had no idea stuff like this existed close by. Not as technical as Pisgah, but a fair bit of techy stuff, and lots of steep climbing. We had a real adventure, two guys burped their tubeless setups running too low a pressure, and on the second one of the day the skies opened up and it fell a damn flood on us. The last five miles or so was a wet, slimy, slippery, mess. And the 2 mile downhill run back to the falls got a lot more interesting will off camber roots and rocks, and some fairly big falls if you got it wrong. It kicked my ass big time, but I had a freaking blast, and I'll definitely be back!
Shock torn down and the spacer on the left.
Stonewall Falls, no trail pics, sorry
Bike got a bit filthy, pics don't do it justice, first time it's stayed in the garage since I bought it.
Forgot to start my Garmin, as usual.
Ride was just over 15 miles total.
So after that was done, I had decided not to do a whole lot on Monday, But Monday morning, I made a good breakfast and decided an easy recovery ride would make me feel better. And I wanted to tinker with my saddle position a bit anyway due to a recent back problem. So, off we went for the greenway for some HRM zone riding, and a little exploring too.
The Domane ain't scared of single track either
Hey, I remembered to start the Garmin this time
