If I recal, you are in Davis County. Visit Biker's Edge in Kaysville when shopping if shopping new. They have been running specials, and one of the owners, Zach, supports the NICA kids as well. Tell him Dave Wilson sent you.
. Work from home is rough on my "fitness". I need a fix. This is a shot. I'm trying to go out at least 3-4 times per week. Winters a good time to start biking, right?
Moving blanket over the tailgate and turn the handlebars 90 degrees. They even fit in girly tacoma's that way.I'm posting up to hold myself accountable. I'm taking the bike to the 500S Bountiful/Legacy Hwy trail at about 4:45 pm. I'll ride for probably 15-20 min and then collapse putting the bike back in my truck
If you're up for riding with an out of shape dude, I'll catch you there. I plan to go south from the parking lot and then struggle back.
I haven't even tried to put a bike in my Gladiator. Do they fit in the bed? I had a '76 shortbed Chev when I first started hauling the pedal bike to college and it fit with room to spare. Worst case, I can get the F350 fired up (a bit of a challenge with the colder temps) and utilize the 8' bed.
Id totally join you so it can be 2 out of shape guys but its too far a drive for meI'm posting up to hold myself accountable. I'm taking the bike to the 500S Bountiful/Legacy Hwy trail at about 4:45 pm. I'll ride for probably 15-20 min and then collapse putting the bike back in my truck

Yup. Antelope Island and Eagle Mountain trails are pretty sandy and dry out real quick. If stuff is muddy, go real early while it's still frozen.
If there's a Trek that floats your boat, Scheels honors Trek's 25% discount for NICA riders.

Wait and see how you feel tomorrow. Even if your legs and lungs are fine, your sit bones won't be happy with much abuse at this point. Dial it up slow at first.
couple staying warm tips. nitrile gloves under regular riding gloves works wonders on keeping the hands warm. it is way thinner than insulated work gloves letting your fingers have nice movement still. havent found a good solution for the toes. I have heard road bikers use ziplock bags over the socks for the same thing but I havent tried it. for the nose and ears I go with a full face enduro helmet still loads of air gets in to breath. its not as warm as a moto or dh helmet but better than a open face. im sure diffent brands work diffrently there.
Let me get through this next week and I would love to join you and I will even bring an added treat for you. I have two e-bikes, don't be fooled, it is a workout and we can get 3 times that distance in the same time.
you ebike cheater!!! I miss my ebike so its pure envy on my part
when I was doing the bike shop life I worked on a few of the niners. so I have only test ridden them in parking lots but working on them they alwasy seemed to have a really good build quality to them and as much as you can learn in a flat parking lot I felt they rode really good.
You might have a bad fit on the bike. Try raising the handlebars a hair. You probably have a threaded/quill steerer, which makes it easy.
