the offer, but i was determined to complete the course even on a 29er.
the last ten miles seemed to take as long as the whole ride. it felt like the park was saying, “catch me if you can. ha ha.” relief flooded my body when i finally saw the park. a few of the riders hung around long enough to make sure i made it back. they were so happy to see me that they clapped and cheered as i arrived. wow.
i have since then ridden several 100 plus daily miles for overnight or month long bike pack trips with bob. no, i don’t use my 29er for those trips.
