Mountain Biking

[tobby4]

I have decided to get back into riding after staying away for 5-6 years..


I bought a bike yesterday and will be hitting the trails sometime this weekend hopefully..

Any of you guys ride??

 

[caudio51]

I used to....I grab the bike occasionally and hit some trails near home

Not a biker, but change your Avatar. That’s just nasty.:barf:

I don't even own a bike.

 

[mwilson788]

I ride. I run more than I ride but still enjoy Tsali when the opportunity arises.

Let's go to Dausset trails sometime. I need to get off my sedentary ass and start doing something. I've got a nice Trek with a fine layer of dust covering all.

 

[tobby4]

Ha.. yea we need too.. i need a little time to get back in shape before i go and die on a trali

I mountain bike and urban assault ride. I have a 24" specialized titanium frame cruiser for riding around town or at the bike park, Specialized rock hopper for the mountains, Dave Mirra 20" dirt jumper for park riding or street riding.

Well I've just got about a month or so on my new Specialized Hardrock Sport. I had to get the XL frame to fit my tall ass. I've already changed out the tires, upgraded the grips, added bar ends, changed the seat, and put on a computer that does more than I understand.

I'm riding 10 miles minimum every morning when I'm home during the week, 20 on Saturday or Sunday...mostly along the canal trails. Not hard, just gravel and loose rock. It makes you have to work for a mile vs. riding in the neighborhood...

I did take a trip to my first real mountain trail a few weeks ago. I was NOT ready for that one at all. It was a beginner course, but it's actually a competition track, not a trail! I almost died a couple of times, I swear! Some serious washes to go through. I'm gonna try it again in a couple of weeks now that my stamina is a lot better. I survived it, so that's a good thing...Beginners my ass!

Anyway, it's been a lot of fun and it's getting my ass off the couch. Bonus, the g/f likes to ride also, so it's kinda nice to have this to do together.

we'll do bike patrol during the holidays,,, usually through the river bottoms. a hell of a work out with all the extra gear!! way too fun, though.... looking to get a telescopic fishing rod, cuz i've come up on some mighty-nice holes!!

 

[jmatkins]

I use to, but I have not in about 7 years. I need to get back into riding some or just get rid of the bikes that are taking up space in the garage.

Man, don't talk to me about hot..it was 96 when I left for a ride at 5am! Now that's hot!

 

[jwintosh]

yep!!! what was the temp when you returned?

 

[AZsteelman]

it was only 102~

I bought a bike in the fall. I get out every couple weeks around town, and have done a couple "real" mountain bike trails around here. Pretty ridiculous stuff, I think flatter dirt trails are for me- not hiking trails with more vertical climbs and drops than I'd care to hike!
