I took the single speed out Saturday to ride at Harold Parker. The trails seem to get bonier and rockier every year, and this Spring has been no exception. Although I love riding the 29er full suspension bike through this type of terrain, riding the single speed through it presents a whole new type of challenge, but with the 29er single speed, the challenge is oddly easier than with 26" wheels and actually presents a kind of quiet masochism that isn't as tortuous as it sounds.
Regardless, I had no interest in attempting the feature that Dave cleaned midway through the ride, the infamous "Dougie Downhill".
