On our way south to Sedona we stopped in St George to ride two days and break up the trip. Lynda and Fixie took us out to Little Creek for a fun social ride on the slickrock. There was immediate perma-grin from the great company and perfect weather. Only 25 minutes into the ride I tore a sidewall in my front tire and had to tube it when Stans wouldn't seal it up. Fixie got a good laugh out of this as he still rides with tubes. Just minutes after fixing my flat, my Power Tap hub froze and turned my bike into a fixed-gear which made for an interesting ride back to the truck on the ledgy terrain. The ladies continued on while Fixie and I tried to repair my unrepairable hub. Oh well, shit happens.
I got to spend the day with two of my favorite ladeez
Michelle's new Niner...she is hooked and I think our garage may be free of 26" bikes soon
Little Creek is SO fun...well, the part I saw anyway. :)
We stopped at Over The Edge Sports after our Little Creek ride and Quentin set me up with a loaner wheel so I could continue riding. Thanks Q! Despite owning several sets of wheels I didn't bring a spare. Doh! Before getting on the road to Sedona, we rode Goulds Rim, Jem, and Hurricane Rim. Greatness.
Goulds + Jem + Hurricane Rim Loop is one of my all-time favorites
Nice.
ReplyDeleteSorry about the hub. Tee-hee on the tire repair :-)

The Junkie needs a "fix!" What's up with the mechanicals? Hope the remainder of the trip is awesome and the weather stays nice for you. Looking forward to more dirt shots.
