When it rains......

Sometimes, you just don't really feel like training. There is nothing better than having a teammate give you a call and get you out on a ride. A little motivation can go a long way to get out there and have some fun. Boyd and I went for a ride a few weeks ago, and lo and behold, at the furthest point away from the house, the skies opened up in a way that only people who live in Colorado can understand. With dry, packed trails quickly turning to sticky, hellish clay mud we couldn't help but laugh at how a casual afternoon ride could turn into such a slogfest! After an hour to finish the 30 minutes left in our ride, it was time to clean the bikes off and get warm!

The good part. After multiple horrible mud events, my Powercordz still shift like new! Every nasty ride, I groan thinking about having to change my cables and housing, but they always are in perfect adjustment, and never any friction. I have been amazed at just how resilient these things are! Decreased weight, increased durability...... perfect. You should check some out!
