Hello my name is Jeremy, and I ride bikes.

Pretty interesting video on the basics of Suspension forks. Just little bits and bobs of useful info for beginners!

The Giro started yesterday and I’m glad I found that TV app for the Nexus7. Its like having a portable Eurosport TV around.

Today is the team time trial which is always interesting to watch.

Wonder who thought “yeah, bumble bee helmets. That will strick the fear of god in them.”

Enjoy

I went to John Bryan park in Yellow Springs, Ohio to check out the MTB trail system. Ended up taking the On-One Dirty Disco with me. It worked out well, but I’m still slow according to Strava. Ah well, I enjoyed the ride.

Funny thoughts during the ride: every college student should have a cyclocross bike. So much bang for buck…

I went over to Dayton this morning to ride the dirty bike. I think we may actually be in spring time. The parking lot was full and a lot of riders were out on the system. Which is awesome to see.

I did a couple laps on the single speed and meandered around. True to the turtle sticker on my frames, slow rider.

the funny thing about a single speed is you are only in the right gear going downhill.

I ended up tossing my beat up old Marz fork on the bike this morning before i left as I wasn’t in the mood for the full rigid experience after being sick this week. Low and behold, I really need new seals as the fork now leaks. Ah well, she’s held up pretty strong for the last five years. Can’t complain too much.

I took the opportunity to explore more of the system since the last time I was there. It is pretty nice and the city of Dayton should be proud. It has everything I want in a system. Hills, switchbacks, roots, and stream crossings make for a fun ride.

All in all pretty fun Saturday ride.

Jeremy

P.S. while talking with a guy in the parking lot there is a legend of a cyclocross guy doing this system….and having fun.
