Thanks for the welcome, Hebe and Owlie! I'm not sure fun is the right word to describe the experience of focusing intensively on learning challenging new skills and trails, but I certainly learned a lot! Jimena is an excellent trainer and coach. She really put us through the paces on a number of basic to intermediate drills and pushed us to take it to the next level each time. I have been afraid going down steep downhills, and feel so much more confident after practicing going downhill with my body pulled back behind the seat. I'm also ready to head out on my own to practice lifting my wheels over obstacles and doing little drops. It's an exhilarating experience to make it through those. I'll need a lot more clinics to master the next level of skills, smiles.
