On the Giant Trance X1. Long ride. Rode consistent, but not very hard. Was cool and dry, great weather on a clear fall day. Long solo ride. These Kenda tire sidewalls suck!

NID modified a section of the Across Wet Hill Ditch.

Taking a break and taking layers off for the climb up to Malakoff Diggins.

A fun little section of the South Yuba Trail. The river is about 100 feet down on the left.

These Kenda tires have the thinnest, weakest, most piece of crap sidewalls. A little scratch on the sidwall and I have a flat. Ghetto Tubeless setup shown. I don't like and it and won't be doing it again. These tires suck.
