Ride Description:

Out and Back Spin with limited time and played it a little safe on the wet pavement. Part of the delay was watching over a guy that took a nasty spill as I was about to start. He had a mechanical issue and lost control. On the fall his shoulder clipped the edge of curb. It seemed as if it may have been bad as he could not lift his arm. Me and another guy spent about 15 minutes helping him up and talking to him to see if he could get home and just talking to him as he seemed a little out of it. There was not much we could do otherwise.

XLAB Upgrades

Upgrade from regular Gorilla carbon cages to Gorilla XT carbon cages for a little stronger grip on the bottles. The regular cages have served me well for several years, but I have lost a few bottles lately for some reason. The XT cages have twice the grip strength and no problems on today's wet ride.
