new here and just saying hi
i am in my 50's, stay fit at the gym, flyfish,row,bike........outside business development rep for a manufacture in real world,work life.
not a expert at anything biking.......just always liked it.
started mountain biking about 1993 when things were a lot more simple......bike wise.
putz around a bit with my own bike maintenance,set up, yet,,,,,,,support my local brick and motor bicycle shop with all i can........and just buy the brand bikes they have.
don't do any over night bike camping anymore.....at least not recently and am more likely to seek a cabin these days.......but, i love riding forest service/fire roads for the day......exploring some single track here and there.....maybe making a camp fire.......bike/fishing,etc..........flip side i will just ride over to a coffee/book shop or what ever as well
guess if i were to sub-catogorize my niche it would be something like - mountain bike touring/day triping/exploring
little bit old school in that i am use to skinny mtb tires from the day.....so i like 1.75" is to maybe 2"..........i did swap up a couple years ago finally for the 29" wheels from 26" and i use a touring trip gears these days...............still.........as always a rear rack with a good ol dry bag strapped down and a saddle bag for tools, frame pump and bottle's, etc...........bar ends....ridgid...you get the picture
...........i did just order a couple of revalate designs mountain feedbags ,,,,,,they look slick.
nothing fancy bike/component wise anymore............just durable,replaceable basics.
anyways........just wanted to say hi............enjoy the outdoors........i appreciate the reviews i have read here.....i may have a few questions now and then.
take care
bill
