Start out cold, settle in, climb some, descend at speed, maneuver (how's about shaking it around a little).
On account of last week's relative inactivity, riding is hard again. My left TFL (tensor fascia latae) is my bugbear, and increasingly constant companion.( I know, alls it needs is attention/stretching/work, but it's easier said than lived).
...is that you?
On account of last day and night's rain, the trails are tacky again. And plus, the rain warshed away all the duff in which I'd cleverly cached the velocache name of Dirty #30 (I know, but they can't all be gems) so as I passed it today I re-cached it.
On account of people breaking balls, bike choice is in my mind today. So let me just say this: I like bikes. I like road bikes (geared and fixed wheel) and mountain bikes (geared {full squish and sprung on the front and fully rigid} and singlespeed {fully rigid and sprung on the front} and fully rigid fixed wheel). My wheel size of choice is 700c/29", and that is cuz I'm a long tall Texan. I think proper wheel size is more a matter of relation to rider size than anything else; you should ride what fits you. I enjoy most of all to ride the cross bike (geared or singlespeed or fixed wheel) so's I can take roads and trails.
So. If you don't like one or more of the above options- well then it's time to _uck or _ight.
And further, if you are of the opinion that one or more of the above options is not legit, then you need to stop kidding yourself; a different ride is a different ride which allows for a True appreciation of any one of those options. The wheels on the ____ go round and round.
Any questions?
Oh. THE FULL HUNTER MOON WILL PROCEED AS PLANNED, FRIDAY 22ND...DARK THIRTY AT THE WATER TANKER. Corner of Parker Flats Cut-off and that other street.

you forgot the elusive full squish fixed gear.
and you call yourself a cyclist...
...carbon fibre with a virtual sweet spot and electric assist, brah.
This is a bit of a coincidence, given that I only come here for your anatomical graphics, but I also like bikes!!! I like having bikes with completely different setups - different handlebars, shifters, wheel diameter, tire width, etc etc. It kind of preserves that first ride on a new bike feel.
So what is the appropriate bike for a Full Moon ride?
...brah.
Hey Brah! Oh yeah, the bike of choice for the Full Moon is (ahem) one you don't mind crashing.
I obviously don't mind crashing any of my bikes.
HaHA! Outstanding. You are ready.
