Yup, but it will pay dividends come spring. The heart will be well trained.

Psup4s, did you buy the gt3 from norwell porsche? Very nice. Do you plan on tracking?





Wompy and BikeBarn. Two of my favorite places.

Ha! Like they say, it's not the cars it's the people. I see you like your two wheels powered too.

Looking forward to getting back to Swansea on a better day.

Because our GT3's have become to refined, we have resorted to covering the roots and wet leaves with powdered ice, then riding attempting to ride a bicycle over the mix, at pace, without crashing.
It does teach you to steer with the rear, be light on the hands, look where you want to go, and calibrates the *** gyro very accurately!

Gee that almost sounds like driving....

Awesome... Glad to see the Mtn bikers surfacing here. As stated a few pages back, I've converted from the street. I have the same Santa Cruz. Sacrifice a water bottle for tunes. Although here in Atlanta I could've ridden in the snow this week, I didn't get a chance. Here's a pic from a couple weeks back.

Great job. My target was 4500 for my 1st Yr, will end up with 5500 or so, so happy with that. Hoping for a better 2018.
