12/30/2005: "First Canyon Carving Experience"

It was a beautiful 65+ degree day in SoCal (considering it's late December, this is beautiful weather).



I had finally gotten a lot of chores taken care of so I decided to see what Robyn could do in the canyons. I wanted to make sure it was on roads I was familiar with, so I could honestly evaluate her performance.

Being a Rock Store regular, I decided to take Robyn there first.



I then decided to carve up Mulholland and Decker Canyon. Let me just say that this bike is . . . WOW!!
She pulls hard from everywhere in the rev range. The suspension and handling is out-of-this world. Never ridden a bike with Mag wheels before I got this bike, let me just say . . I finally understand the hype. Side-to-side transitions are quick and easy. I almost thought I was doing something wrong because I wasn't tired at the point I was used to being tired.

Here's a shot from the Overlook on Mulholland in the Santa Monica Mountains. She's looking good and certainly in her domain.
