Training Ride 030410 @ T15

Time: 0930
Date: 030410
Location: T15
Elapsed time: 1hr 09min 29sec
Distance: 19.54 km
Ave Speed: 16.9km/h

Bike used: Voodoo Erzulie



Drove from home to Chestnut drive. Parked the car and started the the training ride. 2 laps of T15 basic MTB trail route.

Tyre is one of the most important component on the bike. It make a lot of difference on the trail. The geometry is another area that will affect the speed of the bike. In the past I do not believe in this, often sporting a flat bar and a 18 inch frame. The ride is unstable, hard to control over more technical terrain.

After switching to tubeless. The bike dig and hold it line well. Pumping to 35 psi, the ride is wonderful. The grip is good. I believe the Skinny Jimmy sticks onto the ground regardless of the kind of abuse I threw at it.

The average speed is still slow at 17km/h. Hope to work harder to go faster. I aim to hit 20km/h next training session.
