My Switchback 3 is in the mail, a new 8″ front rotor will join it soon.

The former for baseline experience before KTR, the later to perhaps lessen hand pump during hard braking over rough terrain (as if the two are ever not overlayed). After two very encouraging days of training, I’m excited.

Our chilly weather is still holding out, but by the end of the week will I think mostly be gone. Which will be sad. By the time I descended back to the truck last night I had hands burning and dysfunctional from the cold. I love that weather.

Kaibab this weekend, methinks. Broken records of anticipation.
