What sized wheels?

Last night Ali and I went riding over Oldham way with Rich and Shona*. I rode straight from work, Ali drove over and we were all ready to go at about the same time. Rich kindly provided bikes for us to both ride. I started off on a Gary Fisher Superfly (I am in love), Ali on a Trek 69er and Rich on a Surly Pugsley. During the course of the ride we swapped bikes a couple of times. I couldn't believe how well the Pugsley climbed for such a heavy bike. Going downhill it rolled over everything!

Back for pizza and lots of chat, before we knew it time had flown away and we had to leave. Home, shower, bed. I was tired and happy.

*Shona was on a 650c bike just to add to the different sized wheels
