rain? rain.

today, I wanted to get a short city spin recovery ride in before the rain hit.  decided to bring out the track bike for good measure.  haven’t touched it in a week and a half, and for the short amount of time I was on it today, it was awesome.  I only made it out to haight before the drizzle saturated the ground…and since tire traction is a much needed asset to the friction between the rear tire and the ground, I figured it’d be rather risky and not worth it.

there’s nothing like riding a track bike, that’s for sure – the spin, the torque, a very efficient drivetrain (no power-suck from derailleurs, or even derailleurs and gears to think about).  there’s a give and take, I appreciate the road and track bike in different ways.  one things for sure though, the track bike definitely has a taller bottom bracket.  by a lot.  sitting tall, you don’t even know.

I can’t wait to start riding it again.
