I have done so much dirt time my bike finally needed a tune-up! My husband bought it for me last July but I only had about 20-30 miles on it. Now it has over about 160 which is quite a bit in trail miles. I did my first race 2 weeks ago, finished 10/12 but had a lot of fun. I am going to work on my technical skills before the fall and probably do some more races. Should be getting a lot of dirt time, our women's weekly series just started.
