A great day for a ride. Took the 554 bus (returning to downtown took about 1.5 hours: traffic was nuts!) and did the full Grand Ridge, with two loops on Ryan's and once on Jabulani at Duthie. Wanted to get in a ride before things got too wet, and I had to get home early enough to get ready for Hi-Fidelity Fusion! First run of the new 30-tooth oval chainring, which is *almost* enough, but I think getting 42 cog would be a nice bailout option. I didn't slip out the whole way up, which is a bit surprising, and I stayed seated most of the way. Coming back I was feeling pretty tired, and wanted to make sure and catch the 3:30 bus (which was 10 minutes late, but oh well), so didn't do the new loop. The final descent was hairy as always: those pebbles always feel so sketchy!
