I am old and broken now, But yeah, Colorado is quite the mountain biking Haven
Maybe you should try the kind of bike I got....makes it a lot easier :) Some call it cheating I call it keeping the old broken body in motion....

My doctor suggests I take up a strenuous exercise like walking or treading water. Took a bad blow in MMA and apparently now I’m prone to blood clots next to my brain stem or something like that. My youngest is 11, it would be nice to watch her graduate high school...

Uggh. That sucks. I've had several concussions from bmx and mtn biking. Do you get bad headaches when you laugh hard? Serious question.

Yep new one for the fleet (bikes are my other "hobby" aside from audio/video gear), I generally ride the large size from Santa Cruz (per their sizing chart suggested for riders 5'9" to 6'1" in height), the wheel size is 27.5". Got this one as I've been getting a bit lazy in my old age and this will get me out more often.

This is an e-bike, so check to see if they're permitted on your trails....even pedal assist e-bikes (as opposed to simply throttle types which depending on speed governors can even be considered motorcycles) are banned on a variety of trails. Where I live in the Willamette National Forest we are permitted to ride on any singletrack designated for motorcycles (or any of the logging/fire roads). This particular type of bike might be overkill on most trails in Florida (altho you do have some mountain bike parks with some challenges, just no mountains :) ). This is Santa Cruz' only e-bike....if you want to see some variety in types check out the Specialized e-bikes.

Was just playing around with the app to change levels of boost in the various riding modes....might have to check in with a friend who apparently has the software to seriously hack into it for customization.
Going to look at a Fuji hybrid at the local bike shop tomorrow.

Ill try it out for a while to see if I can deal with the saddle. And I haven't bought it yet. :)
I'm just needling you a bit....trying the bike fit well to you is more important in any case and some would find that saddle okay, I'd rather have a better one as I've used for many years. They just aren't as comfortable in the long run like they might look like they are...and many shops can swap out the saddle easily enough.

No headaches just really cool visuals like LSD and I get a little light headed. It’s been a few years but this is one that you’re susceptible to again, I guess getting punched in the face as a hobbie is out.

From what I’ve read headaches and migraines that are brought on by activities or episodic don’t point to an underlying major issue. A headache that comes on slow and gets worse for several days could be bad or light headedness or loss of consciousness should all get checked out.

Got this in a few day's after my V6A came in, 99 bucks shipped free. By no means a killer sub but it does hit good. Was gonna pick up one around the 500 buck range but living in apartment had a neighbor call the landlord on me already. Good mid bass for sure, it will hit low for movies just don't expect 30 or so Hz from it. Have it set just under half volume and Hz band maxed out.

Looks like you got the seal of approval from Erin. I’m surprised you didn’t get the Dayton 1200 though. Kew I think owns both subs and really likes them. I don’t need anymore subs is what I keep saying to myself. Enjoy Boii

I was gonna get the Dayton 1200, was out of stock at the time. I did review the specs of both they are close. I read his review and post on the MP 12", and remembered I had forgot to post up pics. It does perform well for what I need and at 99 bucks if it doesn't last won't be out much. If I had room, or not living in a apartment I'd have two of them. It does have a smooth mid bass for sure and hits good for movie use.

Because I'm getting some insurance money coming in, I've ordered and received this.

I also bought this RX-V1075 (RX-A 1030) for $425 shipped to my place to replace the RX-V1500 AVR which is pre HDMI + Ambient 1 dipoles which I will put up but angle them as direct radiators.

The UMIK-1 microphone can also do a very nice service as an USB mic in a pinch, though it's noisy and not that good sounding to my ears. The stand is of excellent quality and you can separate the actual mic holder to put on something like link below to reduce vibrations (Rode SM4-R), in particular if you want to use it as a microphone for voice and like to tap along with the tune :)
