The Creek revisited

Recommended Posts

Finally got the led outta my arse & swapped seats yesterday...& since my fender set I ordered hasn't arrived yet, I fiddled w/ the dropper seat post...got it working properly & went ahead & swapped the rear fender off the Mongoose to see how it fit. It ended up working pretty well even w/ the longer wheelbase. So, off to Clark creek once again...

Weather was a bit chillier this time but no rain. The ergo's were definitely improved...was able to get full leg extension now w/ the seat post @ correct height...still gotta make a slight adjustment w/ the seat pitch....nuts were feeling it on the way back....lol

Found a few places this time that I hadn't noticed before, that weren't fenced off or marked w/ No Trespassing or Hunting signs that made it more accessible to the water's edge.

It's a gradual climb all the way out to about the 7 mile mark....then it starts to get a bit steeper....by then I was still in 9th gear & was getting a bit knackered...(feelin' my age more & more)...lol Didn't have enough left in my tank to descend to retry in a lower gear...plus I'd used up over half the battery.

I made it up just over halfway of this incline & decided to take in the views, give my legs a break for a minute, before descending as I looked for other photo op's on the opposite of the road.

All in all, made it a few miles further than last time & got to test out the ergo's a bit....w/ only a few adjustments to be dialed in. I'll eventually get some more led out & get the LH electronic shifter installed & tuned in...which should make those steeper ascends a bit easier.
