I would like to introduce myself. My name is Logan Maynard. I am the newest contributor to Austin on Two Wheels. With my mountain biking experience I hope to compliment the experiences of Marcus and Elliott. I am still getting familiar with the layout, but I hope to contribute to all aspects of Austin on Two Wheels.

I have been biking since I can remember. In fact, I can remember. I got my first bike at about four. It was an awesome bike, for a four year old. A bright yellow BMX, training wheels and it seemed huge. It was not. I have since had many bikes, but I really started riding in 2001 while in California. It was the first bike I ever purchased for myself, a Gary Fisher Hoo Koo E Koo. It was a good bike and it traveled with me to Germany, however it fell into disrepair while I worked in Kuwait. It could not come with me and I could not ride it there if it did. When I returned to the US in 2008 I had a choice of places to live. I chose Austin. I also had a choice of bikes. I chose a Specialized Stumpjumper FSR 29er. It’s a big bike, but I’m a big guy. However, I wanted something to take me to the store and around town, so I got a Redline Monocog Flight 29er as well. It’s a great bike for running around and dirt simple. I now ride nearly every day that weather allows. Much of my riding is at Walnut Creek. If you want to go for a ride, feel free to drop me a line. I ride mostly for fun and I do not maintain a grueling pace, but I am almost always willing to go.
