Oh man, I've had some *horrible* rides! Reading everyone else's stories makes me feel a little better though. I'm not alone!

Recently, I went out on some local trails with my husband and I wasn't feeling 100%, but I went anyway. I almost immediately had a small spill and it shook me up to the point that I'd totally lost my nerve and was walking *everything*. I was so frustrated with myself, but my husband (#1 good sport) was really supportive and just told me to trust my instincts and take it slow. My next ride was fantastic and my nerve returned!
