21 miles in the dirt today (haven't made it up to the Rio Rancho sandhills) just east of the River and along the back side of Corrales, which is a very interesting village combining old rural/farming, rural slum, McMansion, ranchette and just plain weird. Four pavement miles, 17 dirt miles, much of it sandy.
https://picasaweb.google.com/BERTIN753/CORRALESBOSQUEJUSTEASTOFCORRALESROAD061512# I didn't re-inflate after my cussing attempt to measure t pressure with my Topeak electric Chinese POS, but just rode -- 11 psi front, 14.5 rear. This was fine and worked very well in the sand while only causing minor sidewall flop in corners on pavement. A couple of the photos below show my 29er tire footprint compared to the typical, hard, narrow 2 inchers. I wish someone made a Flite with springs. The Flite on the Fargo is very, very comfortable but when you ride over choppy, horse-churned dirt the constant, jerking up-and-down is much worse (with my tires) than washboard. -- "Push back against the age as hard as it pushes against you."
