    been waiting 8 years to ride tiger. I've walked it a few times and ridden the logging roads but september 07 pulled up got bike ready one liter of water and started up gravel road following a few mtbrs.  As I began to work at climb in 2nd front ring I found I couldnt get into low so for 35 minitues panted and huffed while pushing and straining up.

rode carter road lakeland fl over holidays and some urban paul and daniel were truly inspirational. Paul has been hammering it into my thick skull to go to a 27 speed and I finally get it yeah its better gearing kinda got me stoked up riding with those guys they did 4 laps the day I did my first 2 lapper. on 2nd lap I left 5 min before they did and they still caught me. was doing ok but dealing with new heavier forks and changed dynamics of bike was also winded halfway through about where they passed me. will go to bigger front tire fatt and 27 speed on new stronger back rim for abit . later goin to get full suspension bike kinda lookin but for now lovin ta ride.
