Ramp Up

I just took a peek at my Garmin Connect account and I am getting off to one hell of a riding season.  50mi the last two weekends at 5 different riding locations.  And its only Tax Day.  With a mega road epic planned for Friday things are looking good for having a decent base built heading into race season.

Now all I need are the home town trails to finally shed all their snow...

New Ergon grips are nice.  I think they are going to work really well for me.  I got a bit of different hand fatigue than I am used to during the last two rides but I think that is more my hands getting used to the new position.  What I have definitely noticed is no residual fatigue after the rides and they actual offer a few different hand positions that I didn't have previously.  They give a really nice platform and feel way less awkward than I was anticipating.

Kenda pro form stuff arrived late last week but I didn't have time to mount the new rubber before I hit the road to NY.  Went with the Slant Six for this year.  Looks like a good all rounder, interested to see what they are capable of.

Had a great time in NY.  Footage was a bit lacking, angle of my chest mount needs tweaking and the ride was a bit stop and go and I kept guessing wrong for good times to film longer stretches of trail.  But I did manage to get one sweet sequence on a trail called Here to There and just set it to the theme of the weekend.  Had to be there...
