Trek came to town and put on a demo event. Specialized had one in St. Joe in September, but unlike that one, I didn't have to drive an hour and a half to get there, and I actually got to ride the bike I wanted to, and ride it on my trail! (Sorry, had to complain a little bit.)
So, I've been dreaming about getting a 29er for a commuter / racing bike. Ever since I rode one in Moab 2 years ago, I've wanted one, though I haven't decided it's the ONLY bike I want to own. However, after today's ride, I am sure I could be convinced. Dave Neal and I took off on the trail around 4:30pm at Slaughterpen. He rode a Remedy and I rode a Gary Fisher Superfly...and it was SUPERFLY. Amazingly, the trail was in great shape, despite the 8 or 10 inches of snow that just melted on the trail in the last few days. Dave and I both loved the bikes we were riding.
Though I had planned to get a 29er in the near future, my 6 year old daughter's trip to the emergency room for stitches 2 weeks ago put that dream on hold yet again.
