I did about 8-9 miles at Erwin Park in McKinney this morning. Some buddies suggested it, we rode, it was hot, lots of roots and tree gates, and some steep declines...it was fun!

Get on the trails and ride, and watch for snakes.

Well finally got the Carbon Fiber upgrade. Guy went over the handlebars three years ago, broke his arm and hasn't been on it since. I need to do alittle bit of work to get it back into riding shape, new bar tape and some oil here and there and we'll be in business. 2012 Felt F6, it came with some entry level Sram components, but he'd upgraded them to Sram Force so it's alittle better than factory. Have to get used to these new shifters, little different than my down tubers.


Just changed out the seat for a super comfy Fizik, and got a pair of Bontrager carbon fiber bottle cages. Looking sharp now. New picture was due.

Very nice! You will love the shifters! What were you riding before?

Thanks, it's pretty much brand new minus the bar tape, and a very small spot of road rash on the the tops of the levers. Last night I cleaned it up and went totally over it and there's not any scratches or anything on it. I think when he crashed it, he just parked it and said screw it. Only thing it doesn't have that I wish it did is the computer, I didn't ask about it, I figure it came off when he crashed and whoever picked him up didn't get it. It's got all the Garmin sensors on the pedal/chain stay/spoke for something real nice.

Before I was riding a old school steel frame Bridgestone bike, it's the white one several post up in front of the mountains. It's a freaking sled compared to this thing lol.

Wow. What an upgrade! When I was younger I rode a Peugeot bike from the 70's that had the down tube shifters. It was a fun bike to ride, but nothing compared to today's bikes.

Did he have a bad break? I broke my left forearm when I was in 7th grade. 7 surgeries, a bone graft, a nerve graft, and countless hours of occupational therapy saved my arm. It stopped me from riding until this past year (24 years old now.)

I don't know if it was that bad, but his wife said it happened when they first met and it was a definite test.

Slick bike, glad you got one you like better! They say "If its not cool looking, you won't wanna ride it!"

I ride a Trek 3700. Managed 1000 miles last year, and I'm on a pace to do it again this year.

im back riding with my twelve year old son, were pacing about the same distance, this year. I dont think he (nor I) could make the 10 to 12,000 miles i rode per year in my racing days. 20 miles before school, 30 miles after school, 100 to 150 miles on a non race saturday, 20 miles of spinning on a non race sunday. it was fun to be young.

I got issues. nuts

Wind isn't right to bow hunt tomorrow...do I go with the wind wrong or sign up for a 100K Tour De Fire Ant in Marshall tomorrow? Well, my biker buddy talked me into it. Signed up at 5pm today for a ride tomorrow. Weather is perfect..79 at noon!!

I've been wanting to ride this route by my favorite fishing lake. This should be fun!

I'm working on selling my entry level Giant Defy 5, size Large,(if any one is interested) but when I do, this is what I am thinking about upgrading to. I was given a set of Rol Racer-SLR wheels for pet sitting for about a combined 2 months, so I will swap those over to my new bike if I get one. nuts
