My wrist has been hurting recently. I think it's because I spend too much time on computers. I have been trying to rest it, so I haven't been riding recently. I wanted something that would ease me back into it, but still be fun.

The view from Echo trail. |
I rode the standard frontside loop w/ a trip up Echo. I didn't notice any issues on the ascent, but once I descended past the power lines I heard a funky sound coming from the rear brakes. I pulled off the rear wheel, and my brake pads were totally used up. So I didn't use my rear brakes on the descent.

New vs. used. I really should check these more often. |
