Started riding my mountain bike for the first time this year. My butt is sore and has to get used to the seat again. My bike is a 2001 Brodie Fury. The frame was made in Canada and the shock made in Italy. Good quality stuff. I think these bikes are made offshore now. The rest of the components were replaced over the years. This was my first good bike. I bought bikes from Can. Tire and Walmart in the past but as I became more serious with mountain biking the cheaper quality bikes only lasted about 6 months. The first year I put 5000km on it and the second year another 5000km. It was exciting to see my CatEye bike computer turn 10,000km. Well now the monitor broke and I lost track of how many kms I put on the Brodie.
I don't ride as much as I used to. I'm getting old and I can feel it in my joints. I think I put on the beef this winter. I'm starting off on a slow 10km. I hope to work up to my 20km route with lots of hills and in under 1 hour. Dream on.......
