Terry Poperszky 2,784 Posted June 22, 2014 Got my first PSA results after the surgery, less than 1/10 of one point, which means I am clean (For now). Now, only 10 more tests, one every 6 months for the next 5 years showing the same results and I am considered cured. To Celebrate I got on the bike and did a couple of miles. 12 2muchfun, Leepers, Jim1967 and 9 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2muchfun 8,927 Posted June 23, 2014 I'm familiar with two types. Hard-tail and Soft-tail. Hard-tail is your standard bike that most folks ride. Shocks in the front only. Soft-tail has shocks in front and back. There are many different soft-tail configurations. I don't own one, but I'd like to. Not sure how much I'd ride it. At 66/yrs, not sure the old body could handle all the shock and awe some of the rocky trails have? Components should be very important. I like Shimano Deore XT for the derailleurs but I'm sure there are others that are just as competitive. You can probably pick up a decent new bike for $1K and a used one for half that? Of course, you need somewhere to ride? Here in Colorado and in Utah, the trails are endless. And I agree with Terry, Moab is a mtn bikers dream destination. 2 Debbie3sons and catfish87 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Terry Poperszky 2,784 Posted June 23, 2014 You and TMF have got me thinking....of getting/trying a MTN bike. After all, you're the one who said its better than sex...... What am I missing??!?!?! Mtn biking and road biking are sooooo different, and I love them both. when I am on my road bike it is a zen like experience, becoming one with the bike, the repetitive motion of your legs, it is very calming and peaceful for me. Mtn biking on the other hand is an "E"ticket ride, better than roller coaster you have ever ridden. It is total concentration and depending on the grade, total fear. Like I said, I love them both. As far as what 2mf said, I wish I had gotten a soft tail, but I will ride my hard tail for a couple of years and then move to a soft tail. I got a Giant 29' Tracker for 900.00 and it is one sweet ride. 4 2muchfun, kll724, Debbie3sons and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
