Literal and figurative traverses of basin and range

Underbiking

I rigged up my Kona Jake the Snake CXer with under-saddle, frame, and bar bags, threw on a pair of baggies and a tech t-shirt, and did some exploring this morning. I mainly just wanted to get out of the house and get in some miles on an unexpectedly cool morning. I also wanted to see if I could handle trail riding on a drop-bar bike with 35c semi-knobby tires and, despite a few slips and dabs in the gravelly sections, it worked out pretty well. Underbike, monstercross, or whatever you want to call it, it was a lot of fun.
