It had been a while since I last rode the Moots, with all the exploding nipples and all, so I was glad to get it out again today for a quick spin around Meerdaels' Green Bloso route. What a joy to work my favorite XTR shifters again. There is no substitute for their silky smooth precise action, both in front and at the rear. The ride went fine. Both wheels had to be remade due to the nipples breaking down and this was a good test to see if Luc had done his work properly. Everything held fine but due to my nose still not being completely free of mucus I only rode about an hour, just enough to complete the Green loop. Weather was fresh with only 15 degrees C and a northwesterly wind blowing fiercely at times. But the cover of the forest provided shelter to both the wind and the few drops of rain accompanying it at times.
