Pivot Trail 429. Mostly sunny and bright, cool at the start but warmed up nicely, strong and gusty South winds not really a factor in the woods. Comfortable early Spring ride. I saw 2 deer, 3-4 other riders on the trails and a good crowd at the finish in the parking lot. Trails were in good shape as usual with only a few wet spots, except for some deeply flooded parts on the Marsh trail. It's amazing how fast Atwood dries out after a rain (last night). Not my first ride on the new bike but I would call it the first real ride on singletrack, as parts of the Atwood trail system are much more difficult than what I've ridden on this year so far. Also the first ride at Atwood since. late September, 2025. I only rode there 4 times last year. Very happy with the ride of the 429 and I expect it to improve as I get used to the bike. I was actually surprised how well it rode on some of the harder trails, particularly the uphill sections of Blackhawk.
