This is why I’m real glad I don’t ride home at 3-4am anymore. SO much sketchy shit going down and so many impaired drivers.

So, I took Snowaguchi for a ride this weekend.
As fast and agile as it is, and how it climbs like a goat, the descending is ass because the rim brakes fade almost immediately, even with pads that are relatively new. I had to get off and walk down most of the 60 meters of elevation on the hill at the end of my ride.
My two sets of H+SON rims have deeply grooved brake tracks. One of the Rival cassettes has started to ghost shift. With the difference in wear between the wheelsets, I’d be looking at two cassettes, a chain, and rims to get ‘merely obsolete’ braking.
I think it’s gonna get promoted to ‘trophy and Sunday driver’. Looking to replace it with something modern, disc, through axle, etc.
Not sure what I’m gonna do yet. Looking at the Fairlight Faran, Pelago Stavanger, Sour Purple Haze, and a few others.

First overnight bike trip since before COVID! 60 miles each way to the North-South Lake campground. I probably could have picked two better days to ride but I had a blast.

:green_square: bike yesterday and went for a cruise.
Those are some tasty looking curlers with nobody surfing them!
The lineup was packed, not sure why they missed this set. It was overhead and even bigger this morning. This is at Currumbin alley for anyone interested.

Hour and a half on the mountain bike at the hottest part of the day. Had fun, glad I had a change of clothes.
Turns out this bike rides a lot better when you set up the shock by the actual sag measurement and not just the recommended pressure.

took the wife up Lookout Mountain (the local hillclimb here), it was her first time ever and a big achievement for her.
At 1400ft vert and 5 miles, it’s not the most challenging thing ever, but it is a challenge and she’s very happy she finally did it.

Chain exploded on the first trail. Not sure how a chain breaks at two places at once but that’s what happened.
Rode some more trails then fell off a ladder bridge.
