So after a short summer season with my new full suspension bike, it's time to fix the broken parts and get ready for next summer. On my last ride of the season, I snapped the crank arm off and found out how hard the ground can be (I'm pretty sure that I'm left with a permanent scar on my left elbow from sliding 10ft or so on the trail). I'm looking forward to riding the trails around Golden in the spring; a change of scenery should be pretty nice. There seems to be some good downhill trails around town and within riding distance. So I'll be looking forward to that when the time comes around!
