Well My ski mountain just closed(telluride) so its time to hit the desert. Just got back from a quick trip to moab. Rode amasa back to jackson trail on thurs then porcupine rim yesterday. Its amazing how the 5-spot rides and how comfortable a bike it is. The 9 mile dirt road climb to p-rim was a snap. The spot feels light and quick. The technical uphills are no problems. Just get some momentum and I was again amazed on what the bike would overcome. For anyone who has not ridden p-rim the downhill is long and mostly rough. The vannilla fork in conjunction with the spot just seems to roll over anything that gets in its way. The spot takes to the air very smoothly and lands like its on a bed of feathers. Back at work this morning and Im not even that sore(my butt is a little tender) no jokes please!!. Sorry for the rambling, just wanted to share my apreciation for the 5-spot. A truelly remarkable bike that really is the apidamy(sp?) of a do it all mountain bike
