I drank my coffee on the bridge looking over the depths of the canyon. Dawdled about for a bit, snapped some photos and then headed on my way. Trails are not too technical, mostly singletrack, just combinations of smooth dirt, loose dirt, sand, slick rock, and rocky trails. The ocean air rambler shod in the bruce gordon rock and roads is just spectacular on most smooth trail. Swoopy fast smoothish stuff is a blast. Handles great on single track. The bottom bracket is too low to be really in the monster cross category, but with careful pedaling you can get through reasonably technical rocky bits. I had a great ride.
At the roundabout I hopped back on the road and head back home and enjoyed sitting on the porch and watching some much needed thunderstorms roll over the mountains.

A well-penned report and a handsome phot of a handsome bike. You make me deeply miss NM.
I smacked my forehead when I saw your RnR tires -- I meant to give those a try on my trusty Salsa Vaya, but ended up with Clement X'Plor MSOs; a nice tire, but I'm so curious about that tread on the RnR.
Enjoy the Land of Enchantment for me.... sigh!
