Thanks...it is funny how the whole time I am in misery I feel so much better than if I were home on the couch lazying the day away!!! And no matter how BAD the trail beats my tush...when I am done I am so HAPPY That is what keeps me riding....

Blonde hair and mostly blue is what I remember.

Funny how some avatars just stick in my head.

I HATE getting so frustrated that I cry. The only time I have done that during a sport is when playing golf. Seems there's something about having DH there that turns on the waterworks more than if I was with a girlfriend. Hang in there, and give yourself some time!

I highly recommend the Coyote Hill camp. Tom is a patient, kind, excellent instructor and his wife Gabbi is an incredible cook! They have another adult skills camp at the end of September (beautiful time to be in Vermont!) and they were talking about maybe doing another adult camp this fall if there is interest. Give them a shout...Coyote Hill Camp

There is a trail near home that I still get so frustrated I cry on. We avoid it for several weeks and then try it again. The thing is the crazy thing is marked BEGINNER! I ride advanced trails - even the ones there - but that trail drives me nuts and makes me so mad I end up in tears and cussing every time we go. I have no idea why I keep going back....hoping, I guess, that I will one day be good enough that I'll figure out why other people ride the dang thing!

Glad you made it to Coyote Hill. I ran into Tom & Gabby this past week-end at the NEMBA fest @ Wompatack State Park. Awsum place.

I rode my brand new Jamis Dakar XLT 1.0, loved it. Learned to use clipless pedals-well almost, LOL

Tom raced, won first in his class. Gabby & I cheered him on. I plan to to to the Adult week end in two weeks.

The riding is challenging, the food is great, Tom & Gabby are extrodinary.

Don't forget to check out the other NEMBA fests in CT & NH.
