Notes
The dirt was perfect on this spring day, and I was feeling a little more confident on the trails today. My brakes were squealing, which was annoying. We rode on hillside but didn't do any crazy climbs. Next up was rollercoaster, which was new to me. On a steep downhill left turn, I hit a softball-sized rock at a bad angle and knew I was going down. I braced well and only got a few scratches. Nor was my pride hurt as I knew falling would eventually happen. The sucktacular part was that my front tire flated, and my ride was over.
Not too happy with my bike today as it didn't perform to my expectations. Of course, I'd be far less unhappy if I knew it wasn't somehow my fault or if I knew how to fix these things. Need to learn I guess.
