It's been a while since I've ridden, and a longer time since I've been to Kettle. I felt OK. Bike felt fast.

Ride Description: Red Loop. 6 laps. Thought I'd give the singlespeed a try at Kettle. It was fun! The Red Loop is fast, fun, short (1.25 mile), But has enough twisties and a couple rock gardens that keep it from being boring.
Forgot to turn on the HR Monitor the 1st lap. One lap I got stuck behind a family of 4 with a trailer bike that would not pull over. Took a while to get around. Had to bomb a rock garden to pass. That was fun.
Jim rode the bike last night, and it looks like the under heavy torque noise is from the chain tensioner pulley wheel. It might be torquing a little bit, causing the chain to run up the pulley wheel.
Maybe I can tweek the tensioner a little bit. |

And... The First Trek Mountain Bike.
I just returned from an awesome 17 day vacation where we went to Theodore Roosevelt National Park (2 days), Glacier National Park (7 days) Waterton Lakes National Park in Canada (1 day), Yellowstone National Park (3 days) And Mount Rushmore (1 day).
While in North Dakota at Theodore Roosevelt National Park we noticed we were near the southern end of the Maah Daah Hey Trail. The Maah Daah Hey Trail is an IMBA "Epic" trail. It's a 96 mile multi use, (Bikes are not allowed on the trail in the National Parks.) point to point trail, and while we did not have our hard core mountain bikes with us, we had some extra time and the urge to ride our 3rd IMBA Epic trail, so on the 4th of July, we rode our Trek "camping bikes".
We didn't know it, but the Maah Daah Hey southern trailhead, outside of Medora, North Dakota is mostly for horse riding. We rode the trail .4 miles until it ended at the raging chocolate milk like Little Missouri River. There were no signs saying that the trail crosses the 3 to 4 foot deep river.
The running joke for the rest of our trip was, "If the Maah Daah Hey Trail is an IMBA Epic, so are the trails in my back yard".
I'm thinking about sending in a nomination for the trails I've built in my back yard. Maybe on April 1st.
Exhausted and hungry after "riding", we went into town to eat. Next door to the pizza place was the Dakota Cyclery bike shop. Sue had an inner tube that was leaky so we "had" to go in.
This bike shop has an amazing collection of vintage mountain bikes and gear hanging on the walls and from the rafters. And they also have the first Trek mountain bike. An all original 1983 850 with the serial number 0001.
Check out the funky stem.
I got to touch it. Way kool.
