Haven't been on a bike since ' 92. Bought a Trek. Just figured out its not enough bike and started upgrading.

I knew I was behind the knowledge curve when I went to the bike shop and said "what the hell is going on with the James Bond seat post ???" 😆

Looking forward to XC for now.

More like EXHAUSTED and amazed 😆.

Side story -- Recovering from a Covid Induced heart attack this past February. Full blockage in my left artery. Stent cleared the plague. 4 Shocks with the paddles , 150 compressions -- NON RESPONSIVE. Doctor slammed my chest with his fist 4 times. I came back on the last hit.🌞

Cardiologist said I need keep training. Finally cleared me from Cardiac Rehab to push out to 160 beats per minute. Back on my game. This bike will keep me heart healthy. Never give up, and ALWAYS live life like its your last day.

Looking forward to riding with you guys. 😀

A Wookies return.....

I'm starting this in a selfish attempt to help my motivation. You all know I'm sick and it's tough getting back on the horse...even if it's a machine outside a Shoprite...you older folks will remember those. So I will post my rides and try not to laugh too loud...I WILL improve, I'm just...

I will add that the mtb community saved my life in more ways than I can count. There are tons of truly wonderful people on this forum, it will do your heart good to meet them!

Holy shit that’s one hell of an entrance.

Welcome back to MTB. I won’t be able to make the ride on the 10th but if you’re ever up north and ride Stephens, Dickerson mine gimme a holler. I’m an advanced beginner also known as the roadie who tries to ride a MTB sometimes.
