New exercise machine
Well, I've just about finished up a rough 6 month project at work with some long hours, and I'm going to try to ride some foot hill down hill trails and try to loose some weight. I have been "speculating" on a bunch of full suspension bikes for over 2 years now, and I finally bought one. The wife isn't too happy about me spending any more time away from home, but I really need to get out on the hills and grind out my frustrations. I have hardly riden my dirt bike in the last 8 months and I really treasure that time alone pushing it pretty hard until I can hardly breathe and riding the whoops, beating the hell out of myself and really carving a trail (mountain bike or dirt bike).
Anyway, I finally bought a 2002 Specialized Enduro Pro FSR full suspension bike off Ebay, and I can't wait for it to get here. Full disc breaks, lock out suspension and killer components. This bike makes any trail almost as smooth as a newly paved highway, and I'm really looking forward to the rewarding down hill on some of the rockier trails around Boise after the grueling uphill.
