My new wheels
As a Christmas present to myself I finally got myself a new bike, a Giant Yukon 2005. It had the best components within my price range and felt better than the other bike I tried so it just had to come home with me!
Why a mountain bike when I am training for the MS 150 you ask? Well I am a mountain biker at heart and can’t afford a decent road bike right now so I thought I would get the MTB now, train on it and then sometime prior to the MS 150 I would also get a road bike so I would be competitive on the road but still have my MTB when I want to go off road.
Let me tell you though all of my bikes are now being kept inside without any exceptions as I have just had too many of my bikes stolen in the past, the last was chained to a second floor balcony and for that to get stolen is a real worry!
