What kind of bike do you ride?
GF Sugar with some non-standard components. After my old bike was totalled, I
wanted to get out there and ride ASAP, and I got a pretty good deal on last
year's model. It's not my dream bike, and it's a total pig, but at least I
can ride.
What is your opinion of a single speed?
I like the idea. I'm pretty weak right now, and pushing hard on the pedals
hurts my knees, but some day I'd like to have one. The three-speed idea
mentioned in another thread would be pretty cool.
Where is your favorite trail?
Um. I haven't ridden all that many trails. So far my favorite has been
Devil's Backbone, even though I had to walk a lot of it, because it had so
many different types of terrain and really challenged me.
How long is your average ride?
Er, hrm. Probably 2-3 hours on weekends; more like 1.5 on weekdays, when I
have to squeeze it in after work.
How long have you been riding?
I bought my mountain bike in the summer of 2003. I hadn't ridden a bicycle at
all for years before that. So less than 2 years.
Have you **ever** posted a ride report?
Yup, probably too many. I get excited about the little things.
Who got you into riding?
My husband (then boyfriend) and my aunt. My husband used to ride his mountain
bike all the time, but somehow he hadn't really done much since moving to
Colorado (boggle). We visited my aunt in Utah and he brought his bike; they
were going to go riding, and I didn't want to be left behind, so I bought a
bike. Obviously I'd been thinking about getting one for a while; that was the
impetus, though.
Do you prefer lycra or baggies?
Lycra. Baggies seem to catch on the nose of the saddle more often.
