NEW BIKE
HOORAY! After three and a half years I have finally replaced my silver Specialized bike with this:
It's a 2009 Epic Expert Carbon bike. I have come into some good fortune financially and that has allowed me to get the new bike. I got a great deal at The Path which saved me roughly 800 dollars.
I just love riding right now. I'm riding familiar trails in the hopes of setting personal bests. So far I've taken my Old Camp-Luge time down by 10 minutes and my Whiting-Luge time down by 8 minutes. On Thursday morning I'm going to see if I can get my Beek's time down from 49 minutes.
The new machine weighs in at 25.8 pounds and my old bike was tipping the scale at around 29 pounds. I'm planning on upgrading a few things a few months before Vision Quest in the hopes of dropping another pound. I just don't want to spend anymore money for the time being.
God is always good, but I feel like He has been especially good to me as of late. I was so desperate for a new bike earlier in the year but decided to wait. Even better is that I get to go to Mammoth this weekend to really break in the new ride.
