Yesterday was follow-up day, taking the mtb in to have the suspension overhauled and test riding a Cannondale Scalpel up at Epic Bikes in Tallahassee. The Scalpel? It's a good bike, but I'm not sure it's for me. It didn't quite have the balanced/cool factor of that Intense I rode last week, plus it costs about 20% more. Also, it had Shimano not SRAM parts, pretty much a DQ in my book. I'm still looking. In the meantime, the mtb should be out of the bike hospital in a month or so.
The best part about the Santos FTF though? Meeting up with old friends and making a few new ones. All of us who camped there had some Biloxi connection – lived there, still live there, regularly ride the Bethel Trails, whatever – and it was a reunion of sorts. That's the best part, the part that'll keep me coming back.
Some of the usual suspects. Rope LEDs under a canopy: the new campfire for warm weather.
