Hey all,

I would first like to introduce myself (although Will kinda did already). I’m Jordan, the new guy in the PAC NW. I am youngin’ (20) but grew up racing XC in SoCal and am jonesin’ for Cross season.  Enough about me lets get to the ride.

Will and I met up around 10:00 AM and headed to Forest Park.  We were both eager to see how our bikes would handle with the changes we had made to them.  It was a bit chilly and wet aka perfect weather.  We went up Leif Erickson Rd to Saltzman Rd to a short little trail Holstein showed Will that linked us back to Saltzman.  From there we made our way to Firelane 7 which was quite a fast stretch and then headed back towards the trailhead on Thurman Rd.  All in all about 20 miles of gravel road and singletrack that made for a great ride.

On a side note, a rider in another kit came from out of nowhere on his geared cross bike. I told myself to just let him pass, but then I saw the look on his face like he could just blow by us because we were on our single speeds.  So, I let him pass and when he looked back a few yards later expecting us to be eating his dust, I was right on his rear wheel and could have blown right past him.  The look on that man’s face when he saw me right behind him was priceless, he was in complete and utter disbelief. It was awesome

Jordan… in the market for a nickname
