So I thought I had given up cycling back in the mid nineties... got too busy trying to be all growed up so mashing around on the mountain bike got put on the way back burner.
Then, as the years piled on and the bachelorhood ended, I started to notice (gasp) gut increasage.
So I hit the gym... and as I sat on the cardio bike I'm thinking... "while the eye candy in here is nice, the a/c is nice, the ability to read while spinning..." Read while spinning??? I went out and got a road bike that week. An 02 Giant TCR 2. Been riding since last September and I'm hooked again.
So I was out for a ride on the old street machine (I'm no roadie guru, in fact, I suck but I'm improving) and I'm thinking..."while it's nice to be out riding, the weather is great, wouldn't it be nice to bunny hop that ditch...." Bunny hop that ditch??? I just got a 00 Dean Duke in great shape hand deliver to my door by a nice feller I met via the MTBR classifieds... I am in love with this bike!!! Talk about technological advancements since my last mountain bike (a GT with Manitou IIs - elastomer bumper shock, high zoot back in the day).
So, here I am. A newbie on this board... and lovin my bikes
