Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Another new toy

Been on a spending spree lately. Woo Whoo!

After giving in to years of pestering...I sold my younger brother my Klien MTB this spring. So I had to replace it. I don't mountain bike as often as I once did, so I wanted something with a decent frame and a mid level component layout. I also had a budget to stay within. So I ended up with a new Trek 4900 hardtail SL aluminum framed bike. While the Klien was lively and nimble, this bike seems, hardy and robust. It will take some getting used to, but I think I'll like it.

I like the 4900. I took a long, hard look at one last year. It's one of those MTBs that provides a lot of value with good components without a hefty price tag. Good choice, Good Luck with it.
