Welcome to the Dark Side! I love mountain biking. I used to hike a lot and this lets me cover ground so much faster (and less work than owning a horse). Today I was climbing really steep single track and at one point bailed sideways off my bike and thankfully there was enough brush to stop me from going down the mountain. Then a little while later did a back-o onto my feet (so glad I got unclipped in time!) I love it. Even what scares me challenges me to do better next time. Keep it up!!!
