2/24/09 NEPMTBA Rider

Second Attempt:

My ride:
Everything the same except switched to a 20 tooth rear cog

Trail condition:
Temp 25 degrees, Bitter cold this ride compared to last ride, windchill feels like 17 degrees, time 5:30 PM, trail surface was like putty the entire way compared to last ride when ground was fast and frozen. This ride was a struggle to maintain speed.

Time
14:40

Comments +/-
+ This is my second attempt, felt good all the way, increased effort in a few places and recovered, I think the change of gearing will consider be to my advantage once the ground dries out!

- Rode with large battery light and camelbak, winter clothing 3 layers, Very Cold! Mushy ground very hard to maintain speed.
