a little adjustment is all it takes

decided to move my saddle back about 3/4 of an inch on the tracer this afternoon, and it was a noticeable change. so off to matthew/winters park for a quick spin. ankle is finally feeling a bit better too, though i'm still a bit paranoid about "unexpected dismounts". rode really well, and having more weight over the rear of the bike seemed to help me be extra sticky tonight, as i was able to climb even the technical/rocky sections around the switchbacks.

speaking of the details though, apparently my limit screw on the RD wasn't quite on spec, as coming down the backside i managed to put the derailleur into the spokes AND break the hanger. thank god for spares.

distance 5.09 • time :45 • average 6.5
