이 투어에 대해 이미 여러 번 설명했기 때문에, 다시 투어 보고서를 작성하는 것은 큰 의미가 없습니다. 대신 MTB 신발에 대해 이야기하고 싶습니다:



저는 항상 Trek Y33에서 Shimano SPD 페달을 사용해 왔고, 지금도 그렇습니다. 하지만 요즘은 기술적으로 단순한 크로스 컨트리 투어에만 거의 사용합니다. Pivot Shadowcat에는 처음에는 SPD 페달을 사용했지만, 두 번의 낙차 후 (실제로 제자리에서 넘어졌습니다. 깊은 자갈밭에서 뒷바퀴가 헛돌았기 때문입니다) SPD에 질려서 플랫 페달로 바꿨습니다.





Since it was so nice yesterday, I did the same tour again today 😁

Last June, I reported that the trail had become boring due to excessive straightening, and in other sections, it was so overgrown with nettles and brambles that it was practically unrideable. I haven't ridden that trail since.



Now, after winter, I wanted to check out the trail's condition, hoping that

No, this time it wasn't the police in their pickup trucks who ruined my bike tour, it was a slipped disc!



It happened Friday evening, when I was really looking forward to the ride. Completely unexpected. I just bent over for a second and...ouch! I could barely stand up.



With the pain in my lower back

As great as January was for biking last year, this year it was a complete washout! Yes, you could put on studded tires and ride on icy roads, but the risk of slipping is still quite high. It's better to go skiing, because skis are built for snow, bikes less so.



However, the above-freezing temperatures

After having to shorten last weekend's tour due to icy trails in the upper section, this time I planned the route to primarily stay in the lower part of the Leitha Mountains. All the trails there were easily rideable!



It was still exciting, though, because right at the start I took a path that wasn't

After the tour on the border trail at the beginning of December, the Shadowcat was so filthy that it needed a thorough cleaning/service. So I spent the last three weeks disassembling the bike down to the frame and suspension fork, cleaning it, re-greasing it, and reassembling it. Now the bike purred
