| Our youngest son led a fun outdoor adventure in nearby wooded trails that culminated in this jaw-dropping view. I also tried out his fancy schmancy mountain bike. |
Let me rephrase that: I need a modern 1X hard tail mountain bike.
I happily ride old style mountain bikes for commuting because, really, they make the best stable machines to haul just about anything you'd ever want within a certain radius from home (insert your preferred mileage here). But when it comes to riding rooty, rocky, steep trails, well... a mountain bike would make these older bones much more comfortable.
It's no surprise that I'm gravitating towards the modern mountain bike direction. I had a blast last summer on a rented mountain bike at Kingdom Trails. The kicker? We now live within a 15 minute ride from access to a town trail network, which means after work getaways winding through the woods!
But, with uptick in bike sales, it may be a while before I locate the right bicycle. In the meantime, I won't let the lack of a preferred bicycle prevent me from exploring!
I like where this is heading, and think you'll enjoy it immensely.
ReplyDeleteLast year I finally gave in and purchased a mountain bike to save my nice bikes in the bad weather and to ride the woodland and beach trails in some comfort. It is a hoot! When I can eventually choose my own tyres to something less knobly it will be a dream to ride off the regular hard surfaces. Go for it.
ReplyDeleteI feel sure you will squeeze maximum enjoyment from one.
