Since this is a clean slate I thought I would share that she is going to get the Giant Boulder SE that I found on Earthriders for X-mas.
I have read on MTBR about how not to get your sig other into biking so I am going to try to finagle #1 into a riding partner. We have only been out once to Poosey, on the first section of trails only (up to the archery range) and i think I just about killed her.
Truely though she was riding my old cast iron garage sale special and I was on a hard rock that both weighed 1/8th as much and shifted when and how its suppose to. After the ride she tooled around on my bike and liked it much better so I am hoping an entry level quality bike like mine in her size will give her enough of an edge to keep it up.
Think Smithville trails would be a better place to let her dip her toes into the DARK SIDE called mt. biking??
