You'll be fine! I bought a great used mountain bike (Titus Racer X) on ebay last summer. DH doesn't even mountain bike, really; he has a cheapie entry-level hardtail but discovered that all the jostling of trail riding didn't appeal to him at all. But he was wonderfully supportive, even if it means I occasionally ride alone or with a girlfriend on the trails. We do just about everything else together, so I think he kinda respects that I found something *just I* like to do. I'd love for him to join me, but if he won't, I'm not going to give it up!

I bet your DH will also be supportive. Maybe you'll be lucky and he'll even want to join you on the dirty side!
