…… because it really is March. Like it or not the 2014 racing season is
beginning.
Still out of shape? Yes!
Has your training been lacking? Yes!
Are you ready to race your bike anyways? HECK YEAH!!!!!!
Even with this crazy weather coming into March I am still
enjoying it. We got training camp the
first week of the month followed by the first race of the season and McDonalds
is once again selling Shamrock Shakes.
Yep, Life Is Good!
Although if I cut back on the shakes and got on the bike a
little more I would probably be a little bit better prepared for the beginning
of this season. However, I decided to
make this season a “race yourself into shape season”.
My road bike has found itself collecting dust this
winter. In fact, I am pretty sure it has
not been ridden since August. No worries
though because MTBing has brought a new found happiness into my life and into
my family’s life as well. This past
winter we have all been hitting the trails and when the weather got really bad
we would take a road trip to Rays Indoor MTB Park. My daughter is very happy with her new
Cannondale Trail 24er from Pathfinder. I
am very happy with my new Cannondale Flash 29er from Pathfinder. And now my wife is asking me when she will be
getting her new bike as well. After
looking at many different bikes we our still unsure what to get her. So I am going to ask you all for help in this
decision. Please leave a comment on what
you think she should get. Arryn is 5’3”
so even a small 29er could possibly be too big.
However, she likes the fact that a 29er would roll over terrain much
better than a 26er. So I then started to
think maybe we could go with a happy medium in a 650B / 27.5”. And now she is starting to think that maybe even a
Fat Bike would be fun. So what do you
all think a 5’3” casual rider who wants to hit some easy to moderate trails strictly
for fun should get?
Why just buy her 1 bike? Remember, its n+1
