Part of what I love about the sport is the adrenaline rush, and when you mix that with speed and unpredictable situations...you are bound to run into some problems.

Soon...the woman in my life will be riding a Felt thanks to Chad at Red Barn Bikes. It will be interesting to see how she does. I am already predicting that she will probably be a better rider than me in the next year and I'll never hear the end of it!
