The New Ride

I finally picked up the bike today. It's going to be sweet, I can't wait to take it on some serious trails - I just rode it out in some orchards by my house - it was pretty fun. Here are some pics. They're not very good quality because the lighting was bad.



Just some shots of the bike.



Looking pretty sweet.



Some random pics of me messing around on my driveway/porch - my brother was the photographer, so blame him if you don't like them.



Everything is set up perfectly because it just came from the bikeshop - we'll see how long that lasts, I'll have to learn my maintenance stuff.



The one below is pretty funny - if you look closely, you can see that my face looks kind of funny, funnier than usual that is. It's because I was making sweet whooshing sound effects while my brother was taking pictures.



About to ride down the stairs - oh yeah, that's hardcore.



And, finally another picture of me on the driveway.



That's about it for the pictures. Finally, I'll be able to go up to Fort Custer like I've been wanting to. It should be pretty sweet. The riding I've done so far was just a couple of miles through some sandy tractor roads and some singletrack that wasn't really meant for bikes in some woods near my house. Can't wait to see what this bike is really made of - oh wait, I think it's aluminum, yeah, it is, I remember now.
