Broke in the new trail bike 05/20/18

[dirt dame 559]

Gave the bike a local 100 mile ride that had too much pavement on Saturday, then changed the oil and gave the bike a once over  for the next day's more dirt intensive mountain session at Big Bear.  On Sunday, I found empty trails and nice sunny weather or the inaugural trail ride.  The bike performed as well as could be expected with the stock tires.  Suspension was too stiff, but performed well and the bike didn't deflect in the rockier sections.  Power was superb.  Grips were too skinny and hard for my dainty little hands.  New knobbies will be installed before the next outing, and some cushier grips too.

great looking terrain, sure would like to cruise around up there some day with you as it seems like you know a bunch of routes. Well done.

I have ridden various areas of Big Bear once and absolutely will return.  I've been a desert guy for 40+ years but the mountains are a whole new experience, and something that i would like to do more of. 

Nice pics; good for you!!

Nice scenery!  Reminds me of Idyllwild.  Creeks still flowing, I see.
