Off Camber:

Took the Wily 29er up Switzerland Trail today, the long way around. Did the ride in about three hours from Boulder to home, which is what I can normally do it in when I’m in tip-top shape prepping for zuma. Considering I’m not near that fitness level right now, I’ll attribute the pace to the added benefit of the 29 inch wheels. They climb well, they ride well - fuck - they just work. Am I totally sold - not quite yet, but getting there quickly. A 29er would rock the house for something like the Leadville 100 - I wouldn’t be surprised if they could notch a 15-30 minute quicker go of it.
