You Riv-folks seem to be into off road riding a lot so I figured I'd ask.
There is a section of a commute-route I am pondering that takes me
along what looks like an abandoned dirt road made and used by
construction crews for their big vehicles.
It cuts through a wooded area, runs along a river, and looks to be
wide and clear. I am gonna hopefully try it out soon and see how it
goes. Looks like fun and hopefully will be nice riding in such a
secluded and private area.
I am Sam bar-ending with drops and just don't want to get bounced and
tossed off the bike during all the bumpiness.
I use Marathons at 55psi.
I guess go slow and keep it in a gear that you can just stay in the
whole time?
What should I look out for/avoid on these types of dirt runs?
You may need to lower tire pressure. Also, watch out for ruts - you
want to cross them at something close to a right angle, if you try to
cross at a shallow angle you canl lose the front wheel when you try to
climb out and end up crashing.
