OK ladies, I am beginning to wonder if my stubborness is affecting my ability to think clearly. You all have been so helpful to this newbie(I LOVE this site! ) that I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask for the opinion of some riders much more experienced than myself. Here is the story in a nutshell:

Always wanted to mtb, got my new clipless pedals last week and have been spending the week learning how to use them and getting familiar with being on the bike again(I've been out almost every day. Just missed once). At some point, my BF mentioned how much fun it would be to go to Moab. He is an experienced mtb and road biker. I got it into my head that he was onto something. Turns out, the only weekend we can go until Sept/Oct is the last weekend in April, two weeks away.

He doesn't plan on taking any of the "easy" trails. He wants to do Slickrock and Porcupine Rim. Now, after a few conversations regarding the trip, I think I am not in my right mind and should wait for October when I have more mtb skills. He doesn't want me to get hurt, nor do I.

Is my unwillingness to admit I can't do something clouding my judgement? Am I just plain crazy for thinking I can do this as long as I recognize that I will be walking my bike(frequently)? I REALLY want to go but want to be smart.

(I should mention that I suffer from an accute case of indecisiveness. Have a sweatshirt that truly describes my nature, "I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure".)
