New bike day for me. My 3rd bike in total. Being a 43 year old dad of a 1.5 year old toddler I thought I should probably start getting in shape again after abandoning bikes 9 years ago.
I used to have a cube Fritz 160 HPA and loved flying about the trails here in Scotland. Fast forward after a year of ownership of things breaking and annoying me I got rid and gave it up.
New bike acquired yesterday, Trek top fuel 8 GX AXS, sure it’s not the best out there but managed my first ride out today and gave it my best 5 miles I could. Absolute blast to be back in the saddle. My arse won’t thank me tomorrow but time to knuckle down and get back some fitness.
Bike feels absolutely solid, so different to the cube but it’s been a while. First time with a 29’r felt very different, feels really loose but couldn’t believe how well it handled the wee trail I just did. Over the moon.
Thanks for listening. A happy biker.
