Storm sounds cool, bloody scary but cool.<br /><br />Julbags, I'm ok offroad but as soon as I hit tarmac I spin out, guess I need to work on my spinning.Donkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01919359296842026180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8506170516970820166.post-20495897666299675292010-07-22T13:09:17.861+01:002010-07-22T13:09:17.861+01:00I'm not spinning out the 32:18 on flat bits an...I'm not spinning out the 32:18 on flat bits and as was pointed out to me last night I tend to spin a reasonably fast cadence anyway. Though comparing the gear inches it's a bigger change than I realised...it still smacks a bit of "giving in" so hopefully it will be temporary whilst I toughen up a bit.Julbagshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03169875926076765885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8506170516970820166.post-33725750011616160762010-07-22T13:07:01.425+01:002010-07-22T13:07:01.425+01:00I got myself caught up in the thunderstorm on Darw...I got myself caught up in the thunderstorm on Darwen moor a few years ago.

Fortunately seemed to miss the worst of the rain. Trails over Darwen moor way similar to what you describe over Rivi, still firm underneath but lots of water movement on anything rocky and loose and SSing was knee explodingly hard work for me in the softer conditions, not helped riding with the lads who seemed to be coping with their gearing. I'm going super girly and putting a 20 cog on the rear for a while, it's equivalent to them running an 18 (I've convinced myself).Julbagshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03169875926076765885noreply@blogger.com
