My New Ride

Yesterday I got to pick up my new 2-wheeled companion from Performance Bicycles (very nice guys over there, Pablo & Casey). The GT I-Drive 5 is a definite step up from my Jamis Durango hardtail. Having full suspension is going to be a nice breath of fresh air for the downhill. Perhaps screaming down the side of a loose rock mountain at 35 mph won’t be as terrifying without the backend feeling like it’s going to come apart at any moment.

I’m in the process of moving my gear over to my new bike, one big downer is that I lost a mounting point for an extra water bottle and/or air pump. The air pump I had to get has a horrible mount, we’ll see if it manages to hold on to the frame very long. As a bonus I now have a bike to loan out to anyone who would like to tag along on the trail some weekend.

@Morgan: I will put my bike where I please!

@ThePaul: I like to think so. New bike > nail polish.

@cale: next time you come down we’ll have to at least head to Woodward and take it off some sweet jumps ;)
