Well I did it......yesterday in town I bought me a mountain bike

450 bucks damn things are spensive

anyway this mornin it was 28* so I took the 2 dogs for our usual jog ...........it was a 4.8 lile loop but now with the bike I leave from the house so its around 7 miles

heheheheheeeee......the dogs got their *** ran off...this bike is cool but I can tell already I need to get my *** in shape for that tiny seat

wind was blowin like a bitch so I was bout froze when I got back.........................a trip thru the hottub fixed me right up though

 

I finally drove the route I've been running yesterday and it is a bit over 8 miles total. I about fell over since I thought it was only around 5.5. I guess that stop and go city driving makes it seem like less.

 

youll love the bike Whit what kind is it. I paid 750. for Aarons. frigon crasy.. buti love to bike . less stress on knees great for quads. and butt. will help strenghten your knees in the long run.. watch your dogs though, its hard on their knees, specialy shepards. i think they are prone to bad knees arent they?

 

Are you kidding me - $450 for a bike - my front fork is worth nearly double that there Whit. Add hydraulics and disc brake hubs and 27 speeds and things get really $$.

 

Must be a canadian thing Wyatt....... too pretty here .. they take advantage of our needs here.. you play you pay......

 

Damn Devon.....you must really be serious bout ridin eh hoser ?

 

Kevin,

Actually with running the shop, the construction site and unniversity last fall I haven't been on a bike in a long while.

I had a Norco VPS with 5" front and rear travel, telescopic seat, later 3" wide tires, hydraulic discs, 27 speeds, lock outs, esp 9.0 grip shift and other goodies. The bike ran really well down and on the flats but was a little on the heavy side going up so I sold it. I still have the Z1 drop off front fork and I am going to build another bike this summer from parts as I miss hurting myself on the trails. We will see.
