30 years riding, 15 years writing
Adjusted Judy
J2, the Rock Shox front fork on the Trek Fuel 70.
Adjusted the suspension fork, gave it a bit more travel for a plusher ride. My hands were getting numb from the pounding of the trail after riding for an hour, and I wanted to take longer rides.
Though with more travel I get a spongier feel when I get out of the saddle and hammer, it’s well worth the trade off.
Today I rode for 2 hours and my hands felt just fine, the adjustment worked out great. I decided to stay in the saddle for those uphill climbs, good for my quads but tough on the knees.
Rode for 26.34 miles, average speed was 13.2 mph.
Charlotte, NC
Spent 10 years in Charlotte, a block away from an entrance to the McAlpine Creek Greenway.
Switched to a mountain bike from the road bikes I was accustomed to riding for 15 years.
The time spent on these trails was most appreciated.
