I LOVE this bike

I love my Giant Boulder SE. I got it last summer and enjoyed it then but it needed a few things to work for me i guess. This summer after healing up over the winter i back on the bike and loving it more than last.

I KNOW i outa shape (well i guess i in shape round is a shape right LOL) and i getting winded going up hills i never knew were hills before. But the last two weeks rides i been having a blast.

Did a few things to my bike and i feel it works perfect for me now. Biggest upgrade i did was swap on a CHEAP $25 gell saddle. I know ya guys all say the big comfy squishy seats aint any good but this things working well for me (maybe once i get up to longer rides i will need something different but for now i riding relitivly pain free in the sit bones/surrounding areas department lol.

Then i got myself some bar ends to move my hands around as my right hand is kinda screwed up a bit from a work accident (bad things happen when ya have a suv sitting on your hand). So now i can move my hand around and keep blood flowing better so it does not go numb like it usually does.

And last thing i did was get a wireless Trek Computer. Its kinda nice seeing how far ya gone the temperature, your speed your average speed and such. I did not get the one with candace as i figure i get one of those when i eventually get myself a road bike. But for this bike this thing works just fine.

Heres some pics from todays ride shorter distance today but it was mostly off road with a few small logs and some FUN mogles to play with, and get this one hill that i could actually tell from sight was a hill lol.
