Yeah, I was just noticing that it was a month and a half since I switched back to only riding SS and I’m riding significantly longer rides and a bit faster, but I think the perfect riding temps and beautiful weather have a lot to do with it. Our trails are so pretty now that I just want to keep riding and ride every single day.
Riding SS mostly means not having to think about shifts and less dust/grime collected by the chain.
In winter, when everything is grey and brown (and sometimes white) and it’s cold, that’s when I will probably be content to get out, get in some decent work and get home before my fingers are numb.
