Cool morning run with the big boy after yeserday’s run got aborted.
9 AM
Paddlng (SUP) 1:00:00 [1]
SUP and pup with Bash at the quarry. I took the big guy. He hopped off early on, but other than that he did fine. Some times sitting up alertly, some time lying down, and at one point was determined to go over to Bash and AD’s board, but we stayed dry.
We both went in for a bit of a swim after, but hard to do holding the leash. Next time I’ll try waist strap to leash.
I have to say, despite being heavier and less well mannered on fast open trails, it handles technical and twisty trails better than the carbon one. I made it over almost all of the awkward roots that stymied me on the Kodiak. I also was able to climb everything in the middle ring, which is now 13-40. (3x9)
I have a 1x 11-51 drivetrain on order which should be fine for this bike.
