A friend let Luke and I borrow his mountain bikes (Thanks Christian!) for the Adventure Race. I gratefully returned it and needed to find a ride of my own. I looked on the newpaper of the 21st century (craigslist) and found an 03 Santa Cruz Blur. After a bit of chatting I picked it up. Man, that full suspension is nice as it eats up the bumpy trials. I took it out to the veloway for the initial shakedown ride then I hit the Barton Creek Greenbelt on Sunday to ride with some fellas. I again took a beating on some of the rock gardens but the bike was super nice. I managed to get my first scratch on it so, that’s out of the way. I rolled through Walnut Creek last night on it and it flew. I’m quite happy with my new ride.
