This is one of my new hobbies and I love it!  Who knew?!  In April of this last year is when I made my big purchase.  Buying a bike is a lot harder then I thought.  I seriously felt like I needed to take a special biking class before buying just so I can make an informed decision, but after a lot of research, visiting many local bike shops, talking to a lot of informed people, and a few test rides the choice was made.  I settled on a full suspension bike made by Giant and I love it!  I had a hard time deciding if I wanted a hard tail or full suspension because of the different specs of the bikes, price, and also the bikes ability to do different kind of rides (paved trails vs. dirt trails).  I am so glad I went with the full sespension because it gets me up in the mountains (where all the dirt trails are) and where things up there are beautiful!  Check out some of the cool pics:

So Awesome, I love Utah!

Timpanogos Loop.

This ride was a major workout and it was so hot, I seriously was sweating to death.  Obviously.  🙂

One of the coolest parts of riding is when you come around a corner or get to the peak of a mountain and all of the sudden you have the most breathtaking view in front of you.  Its amazing how much beauty you can find by just going up the canyon for 15 or 20 minutes up.

B-E-A-U-TIFUL!

If you’re ever in need of a good trail a great resource is: http://www.utahmountainbiking.com/.  They have tons of trails to pick from and it tells you the best time of year to ride them, the intensity level, GPS coordinates, and often times there is a youtube video you can watch so you can get a sneak peak of what your ride will look like.  If you ever need a riding partner, call me I would love to go!
