First ride on new bikes

My wife bought her and myself new bikes on Friday.  We broke them in a little on Sunday at Salisbury park.  Fun times...first time on a 29er for both of us.   I can see putting in a lot of ride time once my rear end gets used to the saddle lol..

Trail was in good shape. No puddles from the rains. Nice n tacky.  Only one dead fall to move.  Good times.

Totally hooked on riding now. Made my first trip to LKN ( only rode Monbo ... Wife gave out lol ) but had a blast.   

I can see how this becomes an addiction.

Yea, be careful not to burn her out with too much length or tech too soon. My wife and kids don't ride now -  Roll Eyes

Welcome to our addiction Cool It gets even worse when you do some trail work and ride on a piece of trail you helped build or maintain. 

Glad to see the couples thing. My wife is my best riding partner. Not a happy time if I get to ride and she doesn't. Kiss
