snowboarding

Blarg. Any of you ever conflicted between going biking or going snowboarding? I keep feeling I should hit the snow while there's still enough of it.

Nah, not really. Unless I haven't got any money, the snow tends to win. Not that I'm faced with such an unfortunate dilema in London...

I have my bike up on the trainer (collecting dust) so the decision isn't too tough for me. I use the excuse that I don't want to get road salt on my bike.
I've been a skier for years but I had my first snowboard outing last week. I can almost sit down normally . I went out and got a pair of the padded board shorts for my next try at it on Tues.
My daughter got a new board setup a few seasons ago and I kept her old one and finally got around to trying it out. I think I'm really going to learn to enjoy the sport.
I took a lesson and I was not as bad as my daughter was expecting. She didn't even bother to hang around long to watch me as it wasn't as entertaining as she was hoping for.

I'd definately take snowboarding over riding! Could be because we havent' seen much snow lately, but I feel so much more freedom and joy on the board than on the bike!

Me too, in Dec. thru March in Minnesota, anyway! I'm a lifer at DH skiing, but picked up snowboarding at the end of last winter. Our hills aren't large here, but they are good training grounds for a new snowboarder. It's SO MUCH FUN!

Tomorrow (next winter?), THE WEST!
