Hi All,
Well the cycling bug is still going strong and now I'm thinking of doing both road riding and mountain biking. But I have questions. I hope I don't put too many here. Well, I guess I want to let ya'll know what I can do so you can tell me what I need to be able to do.
First I have a bike, Giant Rincon, hardtail, no disc brakes (and apparently can't get them without paying more than I did for the bike)
I am very comfortable on this bike. I kind of got the impression that you would need to be comfortable so you can move it right. I can ride a wheelie, I can "walk" the bike (for lack of better term), you know swing the back around and then bring the front well you know what I mean. I have a lot of fun going over curbs (doesn't matter what size). I have ridden this bike a lot on rail trails and some on the road (with slick tires before I got my road bike). I want to get into mountainbiking as kind of a cross training thing but mainly because it looks like fun. Other than getting out on the trails and trying it, what else do I need to be able to do?
I know I've got more questions. But I'll stop here for now. I love to get dirty and I love being in the woods. I need to find some people to go with though.
Thanks,
Gray
