Decided to ride my single speed out to the Sawmill Trails in Hepworth yesterday. It's a good ride you can ride old rail trail almost the entire way. Only about 10mins of pavement. Riding the 32x16 was great on the rail trail. However I quickly found out that it's a little too big of a gear at the moment for the short steep climbs of the Sawmill. After and hours worth of riding trails I was beginning to work the climbs a little better. It was some great low cadence work that's for sure. I got thinking on the way home that I could stash the necessary tools and an extra cog out there in the woods some where and could just change it when I got there. It would be the best of both worlds.
On the way back to town I noticed something coming up on the trail....Check this out.
Yes this is my hand only inches from this giant frog. I needed something in the picture for reference. I was very surprised when it didn't move. Ever. I thought maybe it was dead or possibly fake. *Quickly looked around for some jokester with a camera lurking in the woods* Oh there it is, a breath. Ok it's real. Glad I stopped.
After that I just cruised the rest of the way in. It was a good 3hr ride.
