Getting and fitting a bike.

If you have a bike, great! If not, that’s OK, too. Beg or borrow to get one, but make sure it fits you. Some local bike shops, including Bargain Basement Bikes, have used bikes for sale, and some TriCats will sell their current bike to replace it with a new one. When you purchase a bike, new or used, get it fit to you. Either of the sponsor shops can do this. The few dollars it takes to get a new stem or the time it takes to realize you need to raise the saddle will pay huge dividends in comfort on the longer rides or power on the shorter ones.
