I am planning my first ride after work this evening since the dog attack Saturday. Somewhat to my surprise I am a little nervous about the idea, but I really want to head out on my lovely purple beauty and check out the snazzy Frog pedals and new Mavic shoes more!

I am sure I will be fine once I get going, it is understandable that I am a little shy. I also know myself, and the longer I put it off the harder it will be. Hey, if I can keep pedaling with a dog ornament on my calf then I can face a little nervousness

My reward is getting to ride a fire trail on Saturday with my mountain goat at Brown County State Park with a couple of friends.They are very avid mountain bikers and they are going to have to really pull back to ride with this mountain newbie, I really appreciate their being willing to do that so I won't be by myself for the first time I ride dirt
