Ready to Ride

I've had 3 great rides since CTS.  Kelso with a great crew wishing Alex Bowling farewell from the dirt as he embarks on his cycle tour of points local and abroad.  Hardwood to revisit the last hardcore ride of last year.  Puslinch Lake to discover some new terrain.  DVP trails to welcome myself home and test the bike on its first ride after CTS with fresh pads.  Here is what my front pads looked like after the 2nd day.

In the meantime the steel hardtail has been a great understudy for the carbon dw-link full squish bike.  See the previous post for some fairly dramatic before and after photos of the Ibis Mojo SL.
