10 miles of single track, splashing through puddles and mud pits like a little kid. It was a blast. Only saw two other hominids. Probably climbed 350’ but only made one circuit before the skies opened up.
Phun phact: Didn’t mtn bike all summer and stuck exclusively to road. When I used to solely mtn bike all year, the climbs would kick my butt. This time, climbing was an absolute breeze which left plenty in the tank for hammering the downhills.

My son's bike shop (C&L Cycles in Montreal) received two demo "adventure" bikes from Tanglefoot cycles in Vermont (tanglefootcycles.com). They are prototypes, a cross between a mountain bike and a gravel bike; difficult to categorize, but essentially a drop-bar, hard-tail mountain bike on 27.5 x 3 in tubeless. tires. It was an awesome ride in cold dank and muddy conditions. We went off road on trails up a mountainside, and some really gnarly abandoned roads on steep grades which we went up and down very nicely, never had to leave the saddle. All in all, a 40 km test with 723 m of climbing yesterday. Today I did another ride with it, 33 km of just gravel riding (no technical stuff). It's a pretty awesome ride, nearly as fast as my Bombtrack Hook 2 gravel bike which is on 700c x 35 tires. This past summer I started to explore trails, closed logging roads and abandoned gravel roads, but my gravel bike wasn't really suitable. So I ordered a frame and we'll build one up over the winter. It will nicely complement the Bombtrack. Heck it might even be good enough to be N -1.
