After an early morning, I spent a little time working on the 2011 Trek HiFi Pro that I received on Friday. A HUGE thank you to Curt George from Trek Bikes for locating me exactly what I was looking for, and for meeting me for lunch. I really appreciate it!
Eventually all of the X9 equipment will be replaced with the 2x10 X0 items off of my Superfly, but today I was just swapping out the bars, seatpost, brakes, and making it fit like my hard tail. I am in need of 100mm stem as the 90 that is on there is just a touch too short. Otherwise, it feel just perfect.
I hadn't ridden a full suspension 29er in at least two years, and I was really looking forward to getting out on this today.
I set a temp basal rate of a 60% reduction at 12:15, and I was fully planning on being riding by 13:00. I got a little bit of a later start than I would have liked, but by 13:30 I was rolling on the new ride.
I had only planned on putting in 2.5-3hrs, but was having SO much fun I road for over 4 hours. Although there is a slight weight penalty over the XX equipped Superfly hard tail, the smoothness of the full suspension more then makes up for the extra pounds.
I set the suspension up using the Trek Suspension Setup Calculator, and it was spot on perfect for the trail. Spot on perfect.
On the way back to the car, I put my basal rate back to it's normal rate.
Ride ended with my BG at 194. I had stopped for a little bit while on the trail late in the ride to chat with some friends, Marshall and Andrew, that I hadn't seen in a while. Really good to see them! This probably caused a little spike to occur.
Rest of the night's BGs where pretty decent until I went to bed. Had a 130 at 18:41, and, then, 2 hours later a 59 at 20:00 and a 56 at 20:41.
I took in some simple carbs at each one of those lows, and I was heading off to sleep at 21:00. I set a 8 hour post ride over night temp basal of 75%, and set my alarm for a 02:00 finger stick.
Riding the Hi Fi today, really put me in a great mood. The ride was as good of a ride as I have had in months. It was just so much fun. I have a feeling this bike will have me feeling that love of cycling that has been missing for a little while.
I just can't wait to ride it tomorrow.
