That used to be me and Mindy's motto for snowboarding (yes, we're dorks) but now it is applied to mountain biking... and it's no joke! I really am about to die when I go! Eric goes on rides 3-4 times a week and my hubby is in great shape. Me, on the other hand, not so much. So while I am literally falling off my bike gasping for breath, Eric is patiently waiting barely winded. It's sad - what has happened to me?! Well anyway, mountain biking is a brand new beast (I mean hobby) for me to tackle. Eric absolutely loves it and he has gotten me really excited about it. I can tell that it will be a lot of fun eventually. It is so invigorating to be exercising out in the mountains - the scenery is gorgeous! And although the downhill portion of the ride at this point scares the wits out me, I can envision it being exhilirating once I feel a bit more in control of my bike!

How fun! We just started Mtn. biking too. We are going to Moab this weekend and I am sure that I am going to need a lot of breaks!!!
I am very impressed with both of you! Mtn biking looks very frightening to me! I am always in awe of the brave people, like the two of you, who do it for fun!!
I've always thought mountain biking looked so fun! I don't think I can start one more hobby right now though. So I'll live vicariously through you. :)
YOU HAVE WAY MORE GUTS THAN ME. Jed loves mountain biking - he even went this morning on a technical 10-mile trail - but I would never join him. I am not even a skilled road biker. Okay, fine, I am an unskilled road biker. I nearly fall over if Jed crowds me too much! :) But I really admire that you are so willing to join in with Eric. He is a lucky guy to have such a cool wife! :)
