Just rode the La Cueva trail for the second time today. The weather was awesome, and other than having to dodge some young guys with guns...it was a decent ride! The first time on the trail several months ago was on a semi-rigid Slingshot, but after a taste of that rough trail on the Slingshot I sold it and picked-up a Titus Racer-X.Totally different scenario this time, and a much more enjoyable ride with full suspension under me.
Even fixing a flat with mid 70's temps and the blue sky overhead reminded me of the value of being here this time of the year. Coming from Missouri our singletrack trails are typically pretty smoothe, and we don't have goatheads and other sharp stuff to keep your tires flat. Unfortunately with spring rains they can get pretty slimey and muddy at times,and the humidity can be a real killer. Guess theres no nirvana, but for now I will take the warm temps and the La Cueva is good therapy!
