Beach Ride With The Monster Pro

 I had some business near the beach so I brought my Monster Pro for some riding afterwards.

Rode the beach bike path from Playa Del Rey to Torrance County Beach and then back past the marina and up to Pacific Palisades where I ate a burger at the Beach Side Cafe. Then I returned to the start.

48-miles of buttery smooth 24-inch tire riding 😎

First Distance Ride With The Monster Pro

We journeyed up to the base of the Mt Baldy ski lifts.

I also used my newly fabricated seat which worked great. I particularly enjoy riding seated while going downhill


The ride was uneventful (a good thing). We are both a bit wary of the Monster Pro since they have an above average failure rate.

Overheating

There is no doubt that the Monster Pro runs hot. And in our particular case, when climbing the last few files where we ascend ~2000-feet, both of our wheels overheated (or would have overheated if we didn't stop) I think 5-times.

So some temperature mods are in the future for my Monster Pro.

 Met up with six other riders at the Encanto Park in Duarte, at ~9:30 for a 10:00 depart. I didn't arrive until ~9:45 and we didn't ...
