Default A sunday of dualsporting (56k be prepared)

So I got up at around 9AM, had breakfast and decided to go out on a ride. These are my new two passions, riding and photography. I'm pretty new to both of them, but I hope into becoming better as time passes. Let me know what you think of my shots.

First stop...somewhere far from the hectic city streets...I get enough of them during the week.






After a while riding, I came to a playground...so I decided to do some "urban dualsporting"





I then went home, had lunch and rested for a while...but seeing as rain had kinda ruined my rides for the last couple days, I decided to take advantage of the sun we had today, so on the afternoon I went for another ride.

I went to ride some light trails...as it had rained heavy for the last couple days, it was a little muddy, but even though my Pirelli's MT60 didn't had any problem dealing with it. Besides I was enjoying the ride, not going all out.










Then I decided I would like to climb some hills, so I could enjoy the view (And share it with you guys).








King of the hill!




Maybe you can't apreciate it from this picture, but it was kinda steep. And that's where I descended





That's it! Hope you enjoyed seeing my sunday

You have the SM edition I assume? Get some 90/10 or 80/20 tires and be set! Plenty of grip for the street, enough for light offroad excursions. Kendas 761's, Avon Distanzias/Gripster are great tires for the road and they hold their own on light offroading. My tires are Pirelli's MT60, they're 90/10 and I've been able to do some light trails, fireroads, singletracks, etc. Also I've been able to ride on asphalt (both dry and wet) without any trouble. Some of my friends think I'm crazy by leaning the bike soo much on the streets with those tires

Here's some more pics from today for your enjoying pleasure
