Well I decided to finally get serious and lose some weight!
So I got a new helmet...
I have always been a fan of Bell, but... not so much anymore, at least with my last one I have used for several years now. My Bell Super 2R had the removable chin guard which I finally came to realize I never use. I mean, what's the point if you never use it. As well, I have a Charlie Brown bowling ball head, the Bell Helmet apparently is designed for round heads meaning that my big Bell Helmet was always falling forward and driving my sunglasses into my cheeks which got very annoying.
So last weekend we were up on Golden Eagle (Well, every frikken mountain biker on the planet was at Golden Eagle, like 40+ cars?!?!?) and @Voodoo Tom and I ran across Stephanie Marko . She was wearing the Fox Speedframe Pro, it's a great looking helmet so I bought it. BAM!
So I got it from Jensons ordered on Sunday had it by Tuesday night. I think it ran $172 bucks with tax, free shipping. I got a medium and it looks to fit perfectly!
I tried it on, and no matter how I looked at myself in the mirror it does NOT look as good on me as it does on Stephanie.... hmmmm...
None the less. Excited to get out and give it a try. The latest generation MIPS that gives a tremendously smaller profile on my noggin versus my Old Bell which turned me into a bobble head.
That is all!
