Season chill

I made my way out to the DMV last night. After driving the 50 miles to Solitude MTB Tuesday to find my bike had issues 2 minutes before the start. I figured I needed a good race to make me realize its time to STOP. The DMV delivered, I dont know how I raced in the heat all last year, I just cant get used to it this year, must be the 72 degrees and the clean Mountain air tainting my inner roadie.

I am off the bike next week then start base miles again and some trail running. No racing at all until August. I'm excited to chill out a bit and enjoy some good long MTB rides and short night rides, maybe I'll run into the desert night fox or a bear

Side note:I am not a big fan of the new Spot single 29er, so if anyone is interested let me know..Just aint my thing I guess. Its a 29er thing, I just dont understand.

I might be interested in your SPOT, what size is it?

17" Med. Should be good for 5'6"-5'10"

If you want company for some of your base miles on the dirt let me know. I figure your "base" pace should translate into a good race simulation for me! I need to do the Millcreek to Mid-Mountain to Crest loop this summer.

So is it a single speed thing or a 29 wheel thing or a Spot thing?

If it was any bigger maybe I might be interested as well. Im 6ft.
