Gosh, all this talk of climbing is making me want to go out and tackle some killer technical climbs! Nahh, too muddy right now.

I thought about getting some armor too but don't you get awfully hot? SOme of the trails here are literally handlebar width and I got a good smack on my forearm the other day from bumping off a tree.

I recently switched pedals from 959s to Time Zs and what a difference its made in my confidence. Plus, having a new bike helps too. I haven't crashed once yet! (Of course, I probably just jinxed myself now)

Cheers,
Kristina
