PIR, Pinched Nerves and Flat Tires


This morning we were on a time crunch because Spencer had to be home by 8, so we stayed close to home and rode the Estrella Mountain Competitive track located behind PIR. A couple of Mike's co-workers joined us at the trail head. A lot of people I talk to don't really care for the PIR trail. While it's not my favorite I do enjoy the ride there.

Today was the first time I rode PIR on the new bike. I could definitely feel a difference with the new suspension. I'm getting used to the feel of the new bike. Last week I was considering putting on a longer stem to stretch me out a little more but I'm not so sure anymore. I also finally took some pictures of the new bike to post on here.

I've been bothered by a pinched nerve in my right hand all week. I think it is a result of last Friday's collision with the cactus on Hawes. It's not been a constant pain but it bothers me when I make a fist and write.

I have loved riding the new bike but I seem to be cursed with flat tires since I've started riding it. Over the last week I have had three flats.

Hey love your blog, and way nice bike, I bet you just love riding it. Good luck with the flat tires, hopefully you won't get some more, but it's common with mountain bike.
Hey we did live in a lot of the same places and I did not know you work by paradise Valley, I love that place.
