Biking (Mountain) 2:30:00 [3] 27.0 km (5:33 / km) +815m 4:50 / km
Tunnel mountain with Carbon, Jenna, Cailee (sp?) and Vince. Started with Topp Notch. Might have been good to warm up on the berms of Star Wars first. Rode everything on Topp Notch (except the one super tight switchback) but felt like I didn't have as good of flow as I would like. Then a fun zip down Star Wars.
Finished with an out and back of all of Spine, Coastline and Toe/Moraine Loop. Cranked the pace up which is super fun on this trail. Everybody else came along at the same fun pace. We were all pretty pooped by the end but that's what happens when you are flying along at "Mach Bitch.0" (we felt that our intensity was deserving of an intense label for our speed. And yes, the precision is down to the first decimal place). A super fun day had by all! Weather was great, trails are completely dry. There were some other folks on the trails but not too busy.
Same comments as when we rode this combo on June 12, 2016. Again the rear of the bike felt a little squirmy at times, I think it is just sliding on loose stuff on top of the trails. Tire pressure was up to the full 22 psi, and on an Ardent this time instead of an Ikon. For these dry conditions, I think I prefer the feel of the lower profile Ikon.
Hit McDonald's for soft ice cream after. Then stopped by the bike shop for a new front tire for Carbon's bike. When we walked in, they were pulling that exact new tire off a new bike and offered to throw it on hers, no labour charge, Stan's sealant already in it, and a nice discount for the take-off tire. Sweet.
