Best. Bike. EVER.

I've never ridden such a light nimble, 5" all-mountain bike.  It's insane.  I can't say enough about how much I love Stockli.  Best skis in the world, AND best bikes in the world, as it turns out.  Those Swiss just know what's up.  We went on a big ride today that was mostly DH on a buffed out rolling trail through the woods at the base of Mt. Hood with serious flow.  Our lovely coaches picked most of the team up way down the road toward Portland where the trail ended while my teammate Georgia... she's a machine, by the way... and I rode back up the highway toward Government Camp... yes, that's actually the name of the town we stay in.  My new bike is so efficient, and the geometry has it set up so nicely for both climbing and downhilling that I felt like I needed more of a workout at the end of our big ride, and I was glad Georgia was keen to pedal up with me.  And I was totally happy to let her lead (there was a bit of a headwind). ;)
