Ahhhhh Recovery

After yesterdays near 10 hour day in the saddle, today was a well deserved recovery ride. I went out on the road bike for a little urban roll-a-round. I kept the heart rate at or below 120 bpm. I also stayed with in 2 clicks of my 39-23. Super easy gear, for super easy ridin. It felt awesome. It was like someone was giving my leg a rubdown.

I suppose I could fill you in on some more of the gear I am using this year as part of the Cateye Enduro Team. Our fork and rear suspension sponsor is FOX. Lets just say that the other suspension companies don't stand a chance against Fox if things keep going the way they are. This year I am riding the F80X and the F100X. Both of these shocks rock! They have the inertia valve in them kind of like the Specialized Brain shock on the Epic. The fork is locked out until you hit a bump. The cool thing is you can adjust how sensetive the fork will be to the bumps. The weight of the forks is a bit higher than a Manitou or rock Shox, but for what you gain it is worth the penalty. Also, the Fox forks are super stiff. I had been a Rock Shock SID user the past 3 years, and the first ride I could tell a huge difference. The Fox fork goes right where you point it. The only down fall to these forks is the price. To the "average joe" these forks can set you back about $750 each. OUCH! But, look at what your getting in terms of technology and company support. No other company can match it. Check out there website for more info.
