New mountain bike trail opening in Frisco

[Duncan]

This is roughly a few miles from the house (on Teel near Panther Creek), so I will be putting this use. Should be open sometime in October.

I really need to get a bike and that's close enough to justify it.

My first introduction to trail riding was the Grapevine trail. Holy mother of fuck was it hard. Ain't been back since.

I need to start putting money away for a mountain bike again. I've got about $600 that I put away for a mountain bike a few months back and just stopped putting money into it. With as many trails as there are around here, there's no reason I should have stopped.

I have only been to one trail and that's Isle Du Bois at Ray Roberts, I have been there half a dozen times or more and its a little much (for me) so hopefully this one is easier so I will go more often.

I didn't spend much more than that on my Trek, and its a great bike IMO.

Saving for an expensive bike seems like an excuse. If you really have the desire, plunk down $200 for a craigslist bike and ride. Stop putting it off.
Can you really justify a $1,000 bike? I know a lot of folks that ride enough to, but can YOU?

My buddy gave me a free, shit mountain bike. I ride the fucking wheels off it, and have a blast.

Good for you Harrison, glad you were able to have someone give you a free mountain bike. I don't have that luxury nor do I care to waste money on a $200 craigslist bike that's going to have cheap components that won't hold up to the elements over time. I'm not new to bike riding by any means. I raced road bikes for a couple years right out of high school and I know what I'm looking for, so yes, I can justify spending $1000 on a bike. I also know that I'll ride the wheels off of a bike when I get one.

I spent some money on a Specialized Hardrock 29 and it's been great. I live right by the Richardson Bike Mart in Frisco, so this is pretty close to me. We should have some sort of get together there at some point so I can show everyone how out of shape I am!

Go to bike mart and get the specialized crosstrail hybrid for $520 or $580 with disc brakes.

That's bad ass guys! Glad to see more trails popping up in the Df-Dub. Hopefully I can take my mtb up there one time and get to riding trails out there.

I've been looking closely at the ROCKHOPPER COMP 29 and like bikes.
