Getting ready to begin my new summer hobby of lift served downhill mountain biking. My friend/neighbor/cat sitter wants to do this with me. I plan to call in sick from work and we'll head up to Mount Snow during the week for a day of fun.
I am contemplating buying the summer season pass because I can use my winter pass to add it on for quite a savings. I'll still need to rent a bike but at least I'll be cutting one of the expenses.
I already have gloves that I bought last summer when I tried this so set there.
What I would like to buy before I go would be shin and elbow pads and maybe a helmet. I could probably get the shin/elbow pads from the bike shop at Snow cause I can use my pass and get a discount. I also might peruse facebook tag sale sites to see if anyone is selling anything.
Questions, does anyone know of other good places to buy these types of things? As far as helmets go, is this something I should buy brand new or should I consider buying a used one?
