Hi my name is JD and I ride an, approximately 2006, Gary Fisher Tarpon
I've been a passive riding (mostly trail riding and mountain biking) for a lot of years, but I recently decided to get more serious about it. I now regularly take 13 mile rides (
I know, short by most standards) with my family (
including trailering my 11month old behind me in a Chariot) around the Denver area.
Today I rode my bike 9 miles to work (
Bike to Work day here) and decided I'm going to make it a regular thing, maybe even daily. If I can commit to that I will tweak the bike for more street use. If I keep it up long term, I'll buy separate bike for road duty and probably keep this one for family rides and trail duty.
Next up is a 20 mile family ride. We'll probably stop for ice cream along the way.
