I'm new again too

Now that my kids are getting a little bit older I have decided to try and fit bike riding back into my life. It has been years since I did any riding on a regular basis but I am determined to make the time.

Last week for Mother's Day my hubby bought me a new Trek Utopia from the Gary Fisher collection. I have a decent late 90's road bike but I wanted something that I could take on some light trails and just have fun with around the back country roads where I live.

I don't think I will win any speed contests on this bike and it weighs close to the same as my husband's old full suspension mountain bike but it sure is fun to ride!

I wasn't sure about the black, white and orange color scheme, but it's growing on me and I order some reflective orange flower bike stickers from amazon to see if I could girlie it up a bit. My husband just rolled his eyes

Welcome! And have fun!

Congrats on the new bike. This seems to be the season of DH's buying bikes as gifts. Welcome to TE.

We would love to see pictures with the reflective orange flower stickers!
Welcome, and have fun riding!

They are on their way. I will take pictures of her once I have her all decked out. I am still debatin saddles and grips too. I bought another butterfly saddle, that is what I have on my road bike but the new one seems different then my old one for some reason. I have 2 older WTB men's saddles hanging around my basement so I might take the butterfly back and try them out before I buy another women's specific seat.

I would also like to get some ergon grips but they are pricey so that might wait for a while but I will definitely take pictures after I get the stickers on!
