I bit the bullet and got a bike! $95 used from Volpe Cycles in Philadelphia. If he's half as good as the glowing reviews on Yelp, things should be good. (I just put half down on Saturday; he's going to adjust & tune up everything. I'll have time to go back and get it this weekend.)
It's a Raleigh Eclipse with a new gear system. It has the thumb-operated trigger shifters, which I really liked when I had tried them on a new bike. The wheels and brakes seem to be in good shape, as far as I can tell. |

The last time I got my bike tuned up it cost more than that. That seems like a great deal.

I finally got to ride again post pneumonia. The weather was unseasonably warm on Christmas Day, so I rode what remains of my home mountain biking loop. There was a lot of carrying since some sections are thick with falls but I was out for over an hour with no ill effects. Its about 34 degrees here now, so I'm gonna try to get out before the snow.

Merlin and I got out again today. I cut a lot of trail and am within 50 or 60 yards of closing my main loop. I added some nice terrain and Merlin took the time to mark the new sections so we'll be able to do them in the dark.

It was really warm down in Denver yesterday (but windy). I saw a lot of people out on bikes.

It is getting back to seasonal temps today, 31F. I did finish my loop yesterday so next chance I get I can ride the whole thing.

I rode from dusk to dark last night. My lungs were wheezing pretty good at the top of the light-line climb but I am alive.
