Bouncy...I SO feel your pain! I have been road riding all summer in preparation for a century next weekend, but really wanted to do this mountain bike camp at Coyote Hill in Vermont last week. Did a couple of easy rides the week before the camp, but spent much of the time on the ground at the camp. A couple of doozies with bruised/?cracked rib, gorgeous purple hip bruises, and significant frustration and a few tears. I am still glad I went to the camp. I learned somethings that I need to work on, met some great people, ate awesome food, and am determined to get back out there (after my century and charity ride in two weeks).

It is so true that my skll, confidence, and aerobic endurance for blasting up those steep hills really takes several steps back when I am off the mtb for a few weeks. But I still love it and will just keep at it. I'm sure you will get your "mojo" back too!
