Hi, Irulan! I had actually stumbled onto your site earlier today, and found it to be really inspiring. Great energy and humor. I looked at the Utah Mountainbiking link and that will certainly give me some food for thought for a good while.

I like the tip on your site about stopping to practice something repeatedly with a group. To me that kind of takes me back to childhood, when we had the time to just "hang out" in one spot and weren't always rushing to get where we need to be.

I know what you mean about the commitment/bailing thing. I think the key for me personally is probably just to be patient and keep trying and not getting so mad at myself when I bail.

Many thanks for your reply and your website.
