Well, had a great time @ poor farms this weekend with a couple of friends and my GF. Also one top of that the LBS was kind enough to loan me a brand new Gary Fisher Cake to play on. Poor Farms wasn’t the place I really wanted to try it out out, but I really didn’t have much choice. Got to try out the new style shifters and have to say I’m not really impressed with them. Specially since you have to use two fingers to up shift the front derailleur. The disk brakes were great and the bike itself was was a lot of fun to play on. It was my first time with a real FS bike. In some was I could tell my riding was improved some, but at the same time I couldn’t feel the trail Definitely not like my Sugar.
The BIG guy was there and was a little more prepared to ride this time out. He’s been riding more on his own. I’m finding that he’s turning into a bike addict as the hollers and whoops he was letting out will attest too. But because of his size, he’s a bit rough on his bike. In fact by the end of the ride, we found out he slightly bent his seat post!!! My GF was also having a great time. She did end up riding off of one the little bridges in to the creek. Well, I thought to myself that she was now turned off to riding. Not so. She got up cussed a little and got right back on her bike and told me “lets go!!!” Damn I love her!! She got a nice bruise on her knee and is a bit sore but I can tell she is starting to learn. So far she hasn’t told me no whenever I ask if she wants a ride. She won’t go by herself, but will ride with me whenever I ask.
Well, I know this isn’t a great write up, but it’s late and I’m pretty tired tonight. Have a good ride ya all!!
BTW, My large friend just hit the LBS tent sale this weekend and bought some shoes (first time), shorts and other things. I think I created a monster!!!
