Bike Results

I got to squeeze in a 45 minute bike ride at Oleta on Saturday to try out the new parts. The results were incredible. The bike rode so well, the gears shifted quickly and efficiently. I do believe my rear brake cable has been stretched beyond usable but that's ok and very inexensive to replace.

The ride felt so nice and so smooth that I did all of the novice trails and the three pack Dragon's Gate, Dragon's Tail, and Kitchen Sink, without stopping once. I did have to put my foot down once because of one hairpin turn that I always have trouble making. That's about 30 minutes of continous riding and 30 minutes of fun fun fun.

And I want to make a comment on girls riding bike. Girls... get out there and try it. The riders that go to Oleta are about 80 to 90 percent male. And a lot of them are fit, in shape, with strong shoulders, arms, and legs. If you go out there on any Saturday or Sunday afternoon you are bound to strike up a conversation with at least one of them. Just pretend you need help with your bike.

Well, yeah you would need to get one fitted for you. Bike Tech (on Sunset and 117 or Bird and 72) are excellent. The owner Arnie is awesome and won't bullshit you.

But anyway. You flying over the handlebar won't bust open your knee. You are more likely to crack your clavicle, bruise a rib, dislocate a shoulder, break your arm, or break your wrist. But your knee will be fine. And you'd still get a chance to meet the guy. Nothing men like more than coming to the rescue of a girl in distress.
