    Congratulations on your improvements! Great job!!!! I am such a chicken at this point... I can't wait to be able to do what you're doing!

    I guess I'm gonna have to come crash (probably literally AND figuratively) one of your rides and get some tips!

    You are getting better really fast and that is AWESOME!

    Great pic FBG... really shows where you went and gives an idea of terrain

    I have spent some time just looking at that - I love examing terrain/aerial pix like that.

    Congrats on your time, it feels soooo good, huh?


    Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
    "I will try again tomorrow".

    Thanks. I just got back from riding UP the single track. On the photo it starts at the right side heading up from the street and we rode to the dark egg-shaped shadow in the middle. About a 2.5 mile climb. A real leg-burner. And I had a minor crash on the way down on some slick rock and scraped my elbow.

    Ouch! Sorry about the crash. My scabs from my most recent (very minor) crash are just gone, though I still have a less-than-great shoulder from my very first (and most serious) mtb crash <sigh>. I guess I should bite the bullet and go to PT, but I only notice it when I do upright rows (with 10 lb. dumbbells), so I completely forget about it except 1-2 times a week when I do that particular exercise at the gym.

    Hope you're just scraped and nothing worse!
