Riding, come hell or high water

When you ride in the rain, or just after a rain it can make for a good ride. One, it's cooler, and two, the trail is more packed down...allowing for more speed.

There is a downside to riding in those conditions though...

The post ride clean up. It can be a real pain in the ass.

While on the subject of today's ride, I just HAVE to share a story. One of the guys I was riding with was using a Titus Racer X. A female friend of his wanted to try it out, so he adjusted the seat and let her take it for a spin. Here's the funny part. She pedals off and he tells her to jump up and down on the bike (which was for her to feel the suspension working), she answers back with, "What, is that how you shift?" I had to laugh, I couldn't help it. It was comedy gold.
