Hubby & I went out for a mountain bike ride. It was to be the inaugural ride for my new-to-me mountain bike. The weather was about 50 degrees in town, partly cloudy & breezy. Seemed like good riding conditions...til we got to the trail. No sun, cool & very, very windy. After about 20 minutes of riding uphill into a head wind, we decided it just wasn't fun & turned around. 20 minutes out & about 5 minutes back ~ downhill with a tail wind. THAT part was fun!

The good news is that I think I'm really going to like this bike. I've been mountain biking for years but this is the first time I've ridden anything with a front shock. Shocks ROCK!
