New Mountain Bike

[Terry Poperszky 2,784]

Since the exercise forum seems to have disappeared (along with all the posts), I'll post this here. I took a day off of work today, to take advantage of the warm weather and take my first real ride on my new mountain bike. All I can say is that 15 mph on a trail, is faster than 45 mph on the road with my road bike.

My pup has already learned the difference between my Road and Mountain bikes. She doesn't move a muscle when she sees me prepping my road bike, but wouldn't leave my side when I was getting the Mountain bike ready today.

What am I doing wrong??? My Road bike never got this dirty!

45 MPH?!?! You rock! & looking at your avg HR, you're new ride is quite the workout. Great job Terry.

It really is a workout, I got to the place on my road bike that I wasn't even breathing heavy at all, today I thought I was going to bust a lung trying to make up a hill, using low, low and standing just to get the power to keep moving forward.
