Hi guys,
In a momentary lapse of sanity, I signed up for a 25-30 mile adventure ride in VT this weekend. Although I used to mountain bike a lot many many many years ago, I am more a leisurely rider these days And a lot older. I think the New England Winter was getting to me so this seemed like a fun idea. My intention is to just go out and have some fun and hopefully finish.
Anyhow, I freshened the tubes on my old Cannondale Delta V, and added some old clipless pedals. I plan to bring a spare tube, patch kit and some levers. I'll have water and maybe some snacks. I bought a hand pump to bring along as well. I also have to figure out how to use Strava for the route. Its supposed to be pretty muddy and I used to have a clip on rear fender which I'll look for.
Any other tips or suggestions ?
TIA
