the childs size bike ride

childs size, a photo by rOcKeTdOgUk on Flickr.

the last ride was after a very hot day working in the garden in very warm and humid conditions and stupidly i didn't drink enough, so the day after was like a hangover, but with out the fun getting drunk part, spent the day with awful headache so instead of riding i built up my old Trek EX8 and todays ride was on it, first time on a 26" wheel bike for over 12 months, didn't feel that weird apart from a bit small and as you can see in the pic it does look small!, goes downhill very well, but maybe to compare it to a 29er i need to do it on a HT as the bigger wheels roll over stuff too, one thing i will say though is that i had a very sore back at the end of the ride and i can only say i never get lower back pain on my 29er
