Last fall I bought a cyclocross bike for the winter and I've taken to adventuring off road. I am a real weenie about it so far, like I freak when there's a big rock in the road, but I LOVE the mountain bike trails! Its so much fun to go in the woods!!.

I am seriously thinking about getting a basic little mountain bike. I'm terrified of steep rocky slopes but I think I'm just conditioned by roadie riding.

What do you dirt girls suggest??? How do I really get into this?
