Mind-blowing weather in Vancouver today: Sunny and 17 degrees (65 F, south-of-the-border speak) with light breezes and not a cloud in the sky. Off to Whistler for the weekend and hopefully there will be some singletrack involved, so it seemed like a good time to check the Karate Monkey's state of tune after a long rainy season. Legs were slow but the bike was clicking along precisely and Pacific Spirit Regional Park provided some fast, smooth-rolling trails to get the heart rate up.
Old tech: Loving the cost efficiency of the recent Sram X-O gripshift-to-Suntour XC 9000 thumbshifter swap to shift for the front SLX 36-24 double. Works like a charm!
