Buying A Lightweight Bike Was A Good Decision
It was a life-altering decision to focus on buying mountain bike. The racing rider wants it for speed. The light weight contributes to that. It is also more fun for the recreational rider to have a light weight bike for riding uphill trails. The padded seat was important too.
Not everyone races along like a first place winner. Most riders are content to ride at a leisurely pace. If the weather is pleasant, not over 80 and not under 60, it makes for a perfect way to get in the cardio that a moderate exerciser needs. If the scenery is outstanding, it is like taking a mini-vacation in the middle of the week.
Although Jeana did appreciate the exercise factor, she rode mainly for recreational purposes. She needed light weight, a cushioned seat on her bike and some cool clothes. Today she wore pearl izumi shorts and a green sports bra. Armed with sunglasses and sun block, she was ready for the challenge of an uphill ride to the top of the hill.
She remembered the day she first rode on a trail with an incline. It didn’t look challenging at first. It moved up slowly. Then after awhile, her legs started to feel the strain. She was soon sweating under her bike helmet and felt her hands slippery on the handlebars. They finally stopped under a shade tree.
The water in her bottle was still cool. She knew that by the time they reached the top, she’d be drinking tepid water. Still, it was better than nothing. After a brief, ten-minute rest, they got back on their bikes and continued uphill.
They both agreed that it was smart to buy these mountain bikes and donate their older, heavier ones to Salvation Army. Everytime they thought of it, they wondered why they had waited so long. This uphill ride would have been completely exhausting on the old bikes.
They took good care of these fantastic new diamondback bikes. When they got home they would get out the hose and wash them. The money spent was a good investment in fun, they decided. Putting their sweaty helmets back on, they journeyed up the hill.
The trees were full of chirping birds and squirrels seemed to observe the two riders as they struggled to the top of the hill. It was a mountain to them. They always viewed it that way, but realized it was only a hill. When they reached the top, they stood for a few minutes to enjoy the lovely view. Then, sitting under a shade tree with full branches, they sipped tepid water. Soon they agreed it was time to take their nutrition bars out of their pockets.They needed some energy for the ride back even though it was downhill.
