Truth is, we only had 2 mtb rides with the Tucson SOORTA group. We were on the new bike and after far too much time off (real winter in N. Idaho) + nachos + beer, the fast paced group rides were something of a surprise. I was being very careful not to dump us while we slowly got the feel for the new bike and wheel size (27.5+ down from 29ers). Unfortunately, further ride opportunities were cut short when my stoker stepped off a curb badly on the way to dinner and broke her fibula plus a torn ATFL. Following that, we spent the next week working (RICE) to get her in shape to handle the long drive home.
Currently there are 6 additional SOORTA events on the FB calendar, 5 for 2018 and already 1 for 2019.
