R3 gets dirty!


Righty's Robot Replacement (R3) got dirty today. Well, not really, cuz it wasn't that muddy, but we did take the CX bike out for a little spin at Wheeler Farm. My right leg still isn't ready for complete weight bearing so i can't really stand to power up any short, steep inclines, and i still can't unclip, so barriers are out of the question right now, but it was great to ride in the dirt a little. I love riding Wheeler this time of year because all the little single track sections get carpeted in fall leaves.







Of course, you can't really see the nice fall leaves lining the trail in the video on account of the shakiness, but that's what you get when you try to hold your iphone on the handlebars while riding.

Remember, tomorrow is the Run for Bun. If you haven't registered, you can still register in the morning. :)

Have you considered running a flat pedal on the right foot for CX? I used to use flats on my trail bike, and the loss of pedaling efficiency isn't as much as you might think. Just get a good pedal with traction pins on it and some nice flat-bottom shoes like vans or 5-10. You'll be running barriers in no time.
