Lets All Ride Bikes

  OK now lets talk gear inches. I switched the RIG from a 32/18 gear ratio which from Sheldon Brown's gear calculator is 51.8 gear inches. I then went with a 32/20 gear ratio which made it 46.6 gear inches. I have ridden it a couple times now and think I need to make it inline with my IF(26 inch) bike which is a 34/18 which is 49.1 gear inches. So I am ordering a 34 tooth chainring which will make the RIG 34/20 which is 49.5 gear inches. Man I hope this sets it right.
   The last ride I did on the RIG was a GREAT ride on the trails up Hyde Park. There were 5 of us, all meeting at the Juan trailhead(tr. 399) before the chamisa trail parking lot up the road. We all got ourselves together and rolled up Hyde Park rd up to the Chamisa trailhead and onto a Lovely climb up to the saddle. I guess I will let the pictures tell the tale.

  Sooo tell me what is in your audio player? Again I am diggin in da crates and busted out the Pixies Show I went to in DC before we moved out here. They sold sound board quality CD's of the 12 final shows. So I got one for the show we went to. This was one goood show.Even if they were just touring for the $$$$$.
   I saw this from a thread on MTBR I thought it looked like a killer ride. I don't know if I could eat lizard meat though. I wouldn't mind trying that ride one day, All righty I better get to bed. Going riding in Albuquerque tomorrow since I have to pick up Autumn and Ella I figured I might as well go for a ride down there. I am gonna ride Otero. Adios
