So I got off the pot and bought an Anthem 2 yesterday, and got a good deal on a quality helmet and some gloves, trail patch kit and pump, water bottle cage etc.....
I love the feel of the bike, the little bit I’ve played with it, had planned on a trance but they are apparently back ordered out the wazoo in my frame size (small) and no idea when they will be available
So it’s been 25 years and I have to thank everyone who suggested FS, as it’s a blast and kind....found my self riding down a set of stairs in the parking lot behind the bike shop, and when I got to the bottom I realized I was sitting in the saddle not standing....people in the parking lot where staring at my 48 year old overweight self as I giggled riding back and forth over curbs...
That part was fun, then I went out on the little walking path that runs behind my house and OMG am I out of shape....I think my German shepherd was laughing at me. SO I think the plan is just to try to ride a bit every day and build up a bit of wind and some legs again. Temp here is around -5 so at least i’m not overheating but this is gonna take some work....should be fun. If anyone else is out there lurking like I was, take the plunge!
