2 Wheel Technique

It was a beautiful evening with nice temperatures for a ride.  We started early and that allowed Charlie to join us again, amd he brought his usual peaceful style.  Dan, Mark and I rounded out the rest of the crew and we found some new creative lines.

The faithful and the few were out for the ride tonight.  Mark, Adrian and I were joined by Al and Shane for an excellent ride.

  Shane brought is super plush freeride bike and swapped it for a trials ride most of the night.  He took to it incredibly quickly!  Al was ripping around on his recently built up 2 speed street bike.  Mark had is brand shiny new Echo stock with dialed barking brakes. 

Adrian joined us in time to session the tree, and the loading dock.  I’m very impressed with what went down on the loading dock.  Alas it was too dark to film!

Yes, it rained AND snowed on us today!  Scott and Matt came in to town and joined Dan, Bill and I for a very different 2WT ride.  We had to get creative to find shelter from the rain.  For awhile it switched from rain to snow! 

Matt has improved leaps and bounds since moving to Alpena.  Scott is dialing in a mighty impressive front to rear wheelswitch move.  Dan is totally comfortable on the rear wheel and is starting to increase his pedal kick distance.  Bill showed up with some upgrades on his singlespeed – big tires, wider bars, crankset with a bashguard, trials gear, and cross country gear – very sweet.

Intrepid rider Danaerobic Dan sent me photos of  Tuesday’s ride.  Here is the report from Dan:

It was just Adrian, Mark and I. Terri made her token showing, but then rode straight home. Adrian jumps everything in sight, Mark and I hop around and play on the stairs. It was rainy so we tried to stay under trees, but still had a great night riding.
