Canzo

Paula got a new bike. DHL held it hostage for a few days, but it was waiting to be built when we got back from Mexico. Her passport/visa got held up, so she had to bail out on the China trip.

That means it’s time to ride, 29ers.

First ride was simple – suburban trails and bike paths.

But it was a beaut of an evening.

Next up was Tucson Mountain Park…

My favorite comment of hers so far: “I can’t believe how much shit I can just ride over with this bike!”

Water in AZ???

We’ve had some days over 100, but summer doesn’t seem to be in full effect yet. 95+ is plenty warm of course, but so far I am enjoying it. There’s a stillness to the heat and lack of activity. Everyone is inside or inside their cars.

The Canzo is still a bit of a franken-bike, with suspension seatpost (can’t find the intended one!), one v-brake, one disc, velcro strap-on bottle cage and a freely spinning rotor on the front wheel. But it’s rideable and so far the result has been good. I’m impressed by how light it built up, and also how easy it built up.

More miles are in store for it.
