Irulan - I hugged a Tree today!!!

Corsair, you almost tempt me to try MTB - it sure does sound like a lot of fun with so many learning challenges built into the ride. Does road riding sound like a total Zzzzzz to you mountain girls? They're like to completely different sports united only by the use of two wheels. Now, if I could just get over my fear of falling...

I used to road road a lot. It was great when I lived in the rural rockies, and had miles and miles of paved farm road with no traffic. 40 - 60 mile days were no sweat. The few times I went out road riding here, I've had firecrackers and water balloons tossed at me... water balloon smacked me right on the helmet, didn't know what had hit me and that was enough to make me quit for good.
