It was a balmy twenty-six degrees on Saturday, with a slight breeze. Perfect conditions for biking. I got all decked out in my EMS Gore-tex coat, my Under Armor Cold Gear pants, my do-rag, skiing head band and motocross gloves and headed out to Hammond Hill for a quickie.
The trails looked so different in the winter. I seemed to lose all concept of distance and direction because I could see much further through the woods. Deeper into the conservation area, there was no wind, and snow began to fall. It was very peaceful.
The Niner performed beautifully. All reservations I had about XC riding on a rigid system are now gone. I ride at much lower pressure and definitely have to choose my lines more carefully, but my Niner Carbon Fork rocked the gnarly trail like a pro. And it's pretty good looking too.
