My Third Season Finally Started!

@NotSure @Lia Thank you both! It's definitely bitter sweet. I'm hoping to find an upgrade or something similar at the least. Backtracking would be devastating lol. Or maybe I'll switch over to pavement. Interesting times! I'll need to make a video tour before I leave.

All packed up. Luckily found a new place that is definitely bigger and hopefully better. It comes with premade trails and a water feature. I see it as a blank canvas!

@blkdout damn your OW looks cool with those rails and no fender.

Ha! Don't have a move date yet so we're still packed. It's nice to have everything consolidated though. Secret bonus of moving.

Thanks! Even though I usually rock really short 1/8 fenders, they surprisingly make a difference in how much stuff gets kicked up. It's the difference between having a lot of dirt in my shoes or just a little dirt in my shoes lol.

@blkdout I learnt pretty quick not to ride in shorts with no fender. Stopping every mile to empty out the gravel. 😆

Definitely rocking that little fender today lol. Every time it rains the tire kicks up so much debris.

TheAdman

@blkdout do these actually work to keep your legs and the pads clean?

blkdout

@theadman Keep clean? No lol. But they change the normal trajectory enough to make a "good enough" difference. I have longer ones but they tend to toss everything up on the front footpad. I also never got along with full fenders and their inconveniences.

After a few laps with these, everything is compacted enough to not be a bother... unless you're a clean freak that is lol.

Been tired of the red on the FAF's for a while and didn't realize how bright, almost yellow the WTF's are. Liking the new orange much better.

Made it to the new place, not unpacked yet but started clearing out a path between the trees. Priorities lol.

Soooo turns out riding fenderless over a bunch of pine needles is far less than desirable. So much so, I broke and picked up a full fender. With a little modification it fits the FAF rails. Just have to get used to the noise again... I forgot how loud they are.
