Love those little skills logs...
I've never been the most coordinated fellow, which is one reason that on the rare occasions that I go mountain biking, I stick to the bunny trails when I can, and if I do hit a sketchy patch, I get off and walk until I feel comfortable to remount the bike.Love those little skills logs...
They're actually 32c tires! I have 38c GK slicks and semi-knobby tires and this particular frame is supposed to fit 45c tires. Though I've opted to keep this bike more road oriented, with the ability to ride paved fire roads with it's gearing on a 50:34t front / 11-32t cassette. It's also due to where I live in LA, since I'm more central we have way more hills and terrible roads. The west side of LA is generally flatter with smoother pavement and the gloriously flat beach bike lane that stretches for several tens of miles.(Road vs. gravel) I'm gonna say until you get something fatter than those skinny little 28 meats on it (?), it's a road bike.
Yesterday was the last 'cross race of this season, so I won't be bombarding you with boring race pics anymore. And I shot plenty of video again, but this time I made one last push for some stills that I would like... I wanted to get something good before it's all done again for another year. Here are shots I liked:
One of my guys, looking back.

It's been a rough season on my gear. Most weeks (MOST) were pouring rain, and/or mud, and usually below 60 degrees F. My XE-3 still has the stuck AF/MF switch, and the sensor is really dirty, and the grip rubber is peeling off. 2 of my 3 remaining SD cards are either dead or dying - one writes so slow now that I can't get beyond 10 seconds of low-res video without it hanging up. One of them had its lock tab break off, effectively locking it forever. 3 of my 4 batteries are so swollen they won't come out of the cameras anymore without whacking the body. The XT1 is working well still, though it continues to have the "purple shift" issue where its Tint is fundamentally off, everything has a SLIGHT magenta cast that I can see, and which didn't use to be there, that I have to fix in post.
So my gear needs a vacation.
