So Jan, can I come live with you? I only have two hairy dogs, two horses, one cat, one goat, and about 10 chickens.
I definately think it's a lack of core strength, and I think I'm gonna start sitting on an excercise ball at work, and using it again at the gym. I notice that if I got off to stretch it felt better for a while, poor youngin, I told him he didn't have to wait for me.
I think I'm getting over being spooked, it's just like when I came back to riding horses, I'm surprised I even passed my riding test at the dude string I worked on. I was a mess! And I had done that for about seven years really seriously!!! It's definately weird though, because I remember being able to do all that stuff, but I feel clumsy doing it. Oh well, following an adorable boy made it much easier! Looking at the rocky rooted hill he went down in front of me I just about hopped off. I figured well, if I get hurt, he's fast and full of energy and I'm sure he'll find someone at the ORV camp to help. Here gooooooooooes!!!
Anyway, I'm going out on my first club ride today, wish me luck. I haven't been too involved with this club because they're kind of boring. Won't go out on rides unless it's at least 45 degrees, when I announced I wanted to race I got "You've only been riding one summer, and you want to race?" all snide and snotty and basically they're just a little too into being a "women's riding group" than a "women's riding group." Oh well, here goes nothing.

Good to see ya back Smurf - you've been missed hun!
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

Smurf,
About 20 years ago, my husband and I considered moving to Brookings, Oregon. We subscribed to the local paper and learned two things that kept us here: 1. The town had to vote every six months about whether to keep the schools open or shut them down. (Not appealing to educators!). 2. It rained at least an inch or two every day during the winter-October-April. (NOT appealing to people who love the outdoors!) We sacrificed all the green and cool temperatures for this delightful dry heat. It's in the 90's now, and I'm loving it.
Anyway, you might as well come live here. Everyone else is. (Job security for teachers!)
Jan
