Setting out for a ride from Mt. Clemens at roughly 12:30pm today we headed out to Metro Beach and back along the pavement. The spring thaw has made the trails sloppy and unridable, so pavement is the only current option. The excellent weather that we’ve been having was perfect for riding a springtime paved weather bike ride, exactly the kind of shakedown the Titus needed so I could get a good feel for the bike geometry, shifting, new bar, etc. I logged roughly 22.2 miles over 1:34:04, making for a moving average of 14.2 MPH.
Such a nice day. :)
That sure is a nice looking bike Steve! How are the new handlebars working out for you? Does it meet the agressive nature of the bike and mountain bike riding?
Josh: I’ve been pretty happy with them so far. I haven’t had it on many trails (only the small stuff in River Bends) but it’s quite comfortable on long/straight sections, and I can still lift the front end as I wish. It’s definitely a sweep, but nothing drastic. I think it’ll work out quite well for trails. Now, if only the month needed for them to dry out would elapse…
