    Great job rocknrollgirl! What bike did you get to demo?

    Wish I could share a ride report, but it was spinervals for me (trying to train for some local adventure racing, actually started training after hearing about all the fun you have!)

    Demo bike

    A Juliana..Santa Cruz, which is why I threw out another thread to ask if anybody had one. I liked it, but it is 6 pounds lighter than Bob, my bike, and the front end felt light and wheelie ish when I was climbing.

    And KUDOS to you on adventure race training. It is so much fun, I am so excited that I motivated you... gave me a warm fuzzy.....

    Wow, that sounds like such fun. As a beginning mountain biker, I can only dream about that kind of mileage and speed, but it's something I would love to do someday! Congratulations on finishing such a grueling ride!

    Glad to hear you had a great ride! I saw your post yesterday and was curious about where the ride was. As you know, it's a little tough to get that kind of mileage close to home.

    Nice to get such a real ride in on a demo bike, too. It's tough to make a call about one on the street or short mtn ride. I gather you may be leaning towards the Racer X? Have you talked to Jess at all? I know you've rode one, but I think her's might be about your size.

    I, unfortunately, did not ride this weekend. Ended up wakeboarding today. Although, I chose not to go in. We went pretty early and it wasn't that warm yet.

    Good luck on choosing.....

    hard choices

    Thanks Kerry,
    I likes the RM element, but the standover is too high for me, and Specialized does not make one small enough either. Did not care for the Motolite. I saw Jess at the Dark Horse 40 but only spoke to her quickly. One of the other riders from my 12 hour team rides a Titus also and she likes it to climb, but not downhill.

    Hard to judge yesterday, because I had to ride at my race pace all 30 miles!!!!
