A New Toy

Finally bought myself a mountain bike yesterday - the last time I owned a bicycle was when I was 10! I won't say how much I spent but it wasn't terribly expensive - made in China, 18 different speeds, suspension and definitely not good enough for any races.

Took it out for a test run last night and the gear changes weren't very smooth but will do for a beginner rider like me. Am happy I have something else other than running to fall back on when I want to do cardio outdoors.

Haven't been wakeboarding and rock-climbing for over 2 weeks. I still want to do both but was just waiting for a knee injury to properly heal before exposing it to dirty water and rock walls. Didn't want to run the risk of infection.

I slipped and fell while walking along a slippery concrete path at the Ski360 2 weeks ago. Quite a bummer coz I had only started wakeboarding about 10 minutes before that and had paid for 2 hours. Lucky for me, the operators gave me a voucher and told me I could go back another time. Probably some time this week or next week!
