I got a new Fisher Marlin GS Mountain Bike seen above. I haven't gotten to ride it yet because it is way too cold. Dee and I are going to Moab, UT for Easter with his family. We'll get to ride and camp and have general jeeping and mountain biking fun. I got the new bike, cool special biking shoes (which were half off), and I'll be getting a nice bike jersey, socks, and shorts later this week. Don't worry you'll get to see my awesomeness as soon as it is warm. Now not only do I have my yellow bike Lily for some leisurely riding and transportation, but I have a hard core mountain bike. Riding a bike is really the best feeling in the world. You get to see places you wouldn't get to see otherwise, and you get there faster and easier than if you tried walking there. I just wish I knew more trails. All of the online sites don't give you very good directions. I'll prolly go to the visitor's center to see if they have a better trail map for the canyons.
I'm trying to get into shape so I can keep up with Dee on the trail. Does anyone have any tips for getting motivated to work out?

Porcupine Rim is a fun, but difficult trail. You'll go alongside cliffs that only one bike at a time can go through, cliff on your left, and sheer drop-off on the right, but man is the view good. Bring plenty of hydration - many people get dehydrated out there, so come prepared with multiple water bottles, snacks, and food.
Can Dee get discounts on bikes? I've been wanting a nice bike for a long time now.
You can ask him or come by his store. Usually bikes have a pretty set price (kinda like big things like computers and tv's in best buy) but you can prolly get some nice accessories discounted. Stop by his store sometime and ask him.
