Western Rim on a Superfly

I took the shop 2011 Superfly out yesterday for a spin out in Rabbit Valley on the Western Rim Trail.

 Standing next to this thing the saddle was almost up to my kidney.

Thats the La Sal mountains off in the distance.  The ride went pretty well, a carbon, full suspension 29er is a little different than the steel, hardtail Voodoo 26er.  The wheels felt like they weighed 20 pounds and the bike is way longer than 'normal'.  That being said,  I did this ride last year in May and this time I was 1 mph faster for the ride. hmmmm...  perhaps I shall try the Trek Rumblefish Friday.
