Hi! I am in Western NY state, and just started biking with the intent to get into mt biking. I am entering my first race, a dualthon, in Sept...YIKES I have been doing endurance horse racing (50 and 100 miles) and my horses are on sabatical, so I thought I would take up a new hobby. I have been giong along with an old beater bike, and took the big plunge tonight.

I bought a Gary Fisher Cobia. It is a 29er, and I think I love it!! It is so easy to fly on, and makes me feel powerful!! Crazy old middle age broad, eh??

I need a good name for him (yes, he is very manly). He is dark bluish purplish...
