I put in about 20 miles on the BOMB (beat old mountain bike) on Sunday, with a few of it off the road on mellow trails. I've been somewhat lazy and somewhat nursing my back.

I've really got to get a new bike badly. I think I've decided to get something with a front suspension with a lock out, and decent enough I can build on as time progresses. I'll probably stay in the $500-$600 range unless I can find a good deal on something used. And like most people within a year I'll probably want a better fork.
