A day on the trails
Posted: October 24, 2009 at 6:19 pmMost of my riding is on paved surfaces, either city streets or bike trails. Today however I got a chance to do some mountain biking. I got out on the trails with my slightly-to-big-for-me Trek 4500. Despite the fact it was a bit over sized (21″ frame, I normally ride a 19″) it handled pretty well and I did much better than I have in the past. The winding technical parts I took slowly, but handled well. I even took on a really steep downhill which to be honest scared the crap out of me looking at it. The best was probably a wide and very long downhill part with plenty of opportunities for jumps, I managed to catch some decent air.
I plan to get a MTB which is a better fit at some point in the future, I love offroading!
