I decided to pull the cracked carbon handlebar off of the Big Sur this week (thanks Dan!) and I went back to what was originally on the bike, a metal bar. This should be good news on the descents, encouraging more confidence. So, I guess I'm not a fan of carbon handlebars. I am a fan of the Continental Mountain King tubeless tires. The tires preformed really well in my marathons in '09 and I will be using them again next year for sure.I took a long hike yesterday to the Wisherd Ridge area with a large pack and my rifle. There still is not much snow up there. I now know why my friend rides his snowmobile up and then skis! It's a bit of a hike, and if driving (which one can do to near the lower end) chains are recommended. Last Sunday, the 8th, another bud said he spent a large part of the day shoveling his parent's driveway in Bridger Canyon, which had two feet of snow in it! It would be nice if we could get some of that!
I'm trying to figure out the 2010 season. Looking at the schedules and trying to figure out a blend of cross country and marathons so I can race with the LRs too. Lots to choose from next year. Looking forward to it.
PS: Congratulations to our friend Manny on his win at La Ruta!

What mount is holding the Garmin?
It is a Garmin Accessory job. Works pretty well. This is my second one for this particular unit. Careful on the descents though (like put it in a pocket somewhere).
