I've been a mountain biker for 4 years now, and ride a full-suspension Giant VT1 modified. Now that I'm a pastor, and living in the flats of Northern Illinois, it's harder to find and ride trails. It's hard enough to just stay in shape! But I'm doing my best to keep up this passion of mine.
Ride on.
