Bowlcut’s little piece of the world

You are going too slow.  Thats my excuse and Im sticking to it damn it.  Broke yet another spoke on the moutain bike.  I dont think I can get any more miles out of these rims.  I dont think the rims are the issues but the stock spokes are.  They have 400 miles on them and pretty hard miles at that.  They are just tired I think.  Could be the rim deforming tho that could do it but no way of telling easily.  A new set of rhynolytes will be 160 bucks with tires I think.  Not able to get those for atleast a month I dont think, no money.  Kinda ticks me off a bit.  But I did really kill this bike.  Its sitting at almost a dollar a mile for it so far.  Frame is in great shape, got some noise in the drive train which I think is the pedals, and the brakes are a little soft.  But other than that its in decent shape. It was up at Lock 4 and that place is really nice.  Id definatly ride it again, really fast single track type of trail.  Lot different than Hamilton Creek.  But at 40ish miles from home thats a bit of a drive.  Its almost an hour away.  Land between the lakes is about 2 horus away and its more fun.  Ill do it again but not often there are a few trails closer here.  Riding in the woods is so much fun.  Road riding is a workout and fun, but dirt in the woods….so much more.  Its pretty, is cooler, its shaded, its hairy, you see stuff, you test yourself…its just soo much more.  I can see me splitting up the riding between the two once I get wheels.  Road 2 or 3 times a week, dirt in between atleast once a week.  Its also quicker to get the heart rate up….scary at times
