hey all, I'm Paul. I want to get my gf started on mtb'ing with me..
Before I go into buying a bike, I thought I'd have her try it if she liked it (she has a cruiser that I restored so shes only really done road/pathway cycling)
we're staying at cremorne point and i saw that at manly (atleast I think thats the closest to me) they have MTB rentals.. I was wanting to take my gf there. Question is, is there a part of the manly dam mtb track I can take her to slowly get her into it? I rode the track this morning and I'm unsure as to whether theres other track options as I myself had to walk some parts of the track I couldnt do ( I know I know) and if not at manly dam, can you guys suggest a place I can take her? somewhere friendly to an mtb newbie. Plus points if theres an mtb rental place nearby.
2nd, I was wanting to get her an MTB. something not so expensive... How much will I be looking at and what do you suggest I look at?
Otherwise, if I end up getting the bike first I was thinking maybe I can have her try and bike with other women on an MTB trail so shes comfier than being with me. suggestions?? thanks!!
