Today's Ride

Fortunately no one really needs to spend $7K on a mountain bike these days. While still not cheap by any standards, $3500 will get a very capable, durable full suspension bike. Specialized is dropping $13K "mid-tier" Ebikes now to make that $7K price seem like a bargain, it really is astounding. So long as you don't fall into the marketing hype that you need to newest, shiniest thing and keep up on the maintenance of what you have, mountain biking can almost be an affordable hobby ;). At the end of the day everyone has the right to make their own irrational decisions with their money and the market for mountain bikes like housing is certainly irrational right now.

Yesterdays ride now but this is one of my favorite times of years to be up on the ridges along the NY/NJ boarder. Views for miles, breezy, not too many bugs yet. Got out on some of my favorite old school trails, one thats seen so little use in recent years its almost entirely mossed over and disappeared.
