In his defense the smartest and most successful black people that I've met are from T&T.

Went to the show also and being my first time there I expected the line up to be huge. Got there around just after 8am and was pretty much at the start of the line. By the time it was 9 the line was pretty long.

I wasn't planning on getting much. Basically wanted to see what deals there were for clothing and stuff.

After about an hour there I left with this \:D

Anthem X 29er 2


Now I have a dedicated trail bike and one for XC.

dedicated trail and dedicated xc? what is the difference, we live in southern ontario.
what is the other bike you have? I'm trying to figure out if that giant you just bought is your trail bike or your xc.

My other bike is a '11 Trek Mamba 29er. Yes it is less "hardcore", although I changed the brakes and have a new wheelset, and I'll mainly use it when I'm riding with the wife on paths and and such (she doesn't go off road). The Anthem is for when I go riding on trails with my friends and co-workers.

So I got fitted by D'ornellas bike shop in Scarborough (Warden and Lawrence area). The owner (Eon) did the fitting, he used to be cycling champ in the 70s and 80s, he's from Guyana. It took about an 1 1/2 hours, but we were shooting the shit too. I never knew a fitting was that detailed. Everyting from seat height, seat position, bar height and extension, to the angle. I even needed extensions for the pedals, because I could clearly see that my knees were going out when he used a laser to show me. I just wasn't putting down power in a vertical plane.

Then the guy went for a ride a with me to ensure that everything was good. He gave me some pointers on proper form, and even pointed me to some good online resources for learning proper technique etc. Great experience dealing with them

Never did a full bike fitting before, adjust seat height, go riding. I've always bought used and was too cheap to pay for a fitting.

Did a quick 10k tonight to feel out the new bike \:D

I didn't time it, I'm sure it wasn't fast. Thats what the trainer over the winter is for. My legs were tired after the ride, but I wasn't sore or anything. My wife did have a good laugh at me in bib shorts \:D

Oh man I second this.
Trainer in doors blows.
I thought that if I went to rollers, it'd be less boring...but even still, it still blows.

Maybe I can ride it hard for 30 mins at a time, but I'm so bored by the end that it's difficult to keep wanting to continue doing it. I've now given up and have succumbed to other forms of cross training \:D

The training videos help a ton. And I keep the trainer rides short (no more than 1 hr). I have a 3hr one that I still haven't bothered to try.

I have the Kinetic Road Machine at home with Spinervals.
The novelty wears off after a month and then sorta collects dust. I rode it a couple of times in the winter after the novelty wore off, but that's it.

I ride outside until 0 degrees... basically when my mountain bike gloves no longer work on my fingers.
