RR: Pugz Sunday Fully Loop Ride (minus Pugz)

[1FG rider]

I think we had 15 riders or so show up for this morning's ride. I had thought about riding Blackstar originally but thanks to alcohol induced headache, I was more in the mood for a nice casual, social ride. FS and gears felt so good today.

I got to break in my new STR moto jersey and picked up a deal on another Oakley jersey courtesy of parking lot salesman Duke777. I swear this guy always has something to sell.

Pretty uneventful ride with the exception of a extended bike chain issue before we left the parking lot and Danny's early crash(es).



2nd crash of the day!


Mary brought out her IF with Rohloff hub.




Donny taking the stage win!

Riding the Loop never disappoints. Always fun hanging out, JRA.

44x16? Who is crazy enough to ride such a gear? That's 74 gear inches!!

Not me! It was a 53x22 (for a more reasonable 65 gear inches). Just looks soooo much cooler with that really big ring in the front

Yeah... lets challenge those hipster kids to a ride on the dirt!! That's the ticket.

Eventhough the bike was set up more for commuting with the big ring it was fun to see how far up the hills I could get. No shame in portage: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGkrsR5bNA4

Fully loop is ALWAYS fun. Just try something different each week
