Yep, that Crested Butte trip is getting more expensive. But, it is so nice to have my mountain bike mojo back!

Sounds like money well spent! What bike did you get? Inquiring minds want to know!!!!
I still bubbly inside when I think about riding in CB.
We have a second monitor for our computer that cycles through some of our favorite pictures. This one

always made me a little sad. It's from 2006. In 2007, I fell down a cliff on this same trail. I figured I would never ride this trail or anything like ever again.
Since I've found my mojo, my new bike is an Ibis Mojo SLR. :D It should be here in a week or so.

Congratulations!
Yippee! Can't wait to see pics of the new ride - in action, of course!

NICE!!!! I love your "go big or go home" attitude. Crested Butte, at least to a flatlander and scaredy cat like me, is a pretty ambitious place to choose to ride after a bad experience on the trail. You not only chose it, but conquered your fears there as well. That is tremendously cool.Quote:

I demo'ed an Ibis Ripley (29er version of the Mojo) and utterly loved it. Great choice!!
Thanks!Quote:

Congratulations Veronica, it sounds like you had a great deal of fun :) While I was far less advanced than you when still mountain biking, exposure was certainly the bane of my existence for a time. It took a very patient friend riding behind me reminding me to just look straight ahead and reminding me that my bike didn't care about how wide the trail was. That really helped and made it much, much easier to deal with exposure afterwards,Quote:
