Clipless Pedals, again
I still have trouble when I need to unclip quickly. The part I hate the most is when I'm out of the saddle climbing and then need to quickly unclip (i.e. a technical climb, I cant get over a rock or I cant make it to the top). My problem is I unclip one side, but have fallen to the other side a few times already. My unclipped foot is still in the air and because I'm not sitting and my weight is on the clipped foot, I cant unclip it. Common sense tells me to lean to the side I've unclipped, but I don't like to through my weight to one side when I haven't unclip a foot yet.
Oaks with a new bike and a new Garmin
Took my new Garmin out on the oaks and wanted to get a time for this hot lap. Not sure what is counted as the start and finish exactly. Started flat at the furthest side of the helipad and stoped the timer between the logs.
[LOST] Blackburn Multitool on Oaks Singletrack
Not sure were to post this but I lost a Blackburn Toolmanator 2 this morning (26th Sep), probably on the Oaks singletrack.
I would love to get it back so if anyone finds it I will offer a reward.
Cheers.
