I really admire your mom, Oakleaf.

My husband is faced with the prospect of knees AND hips being replaced at some point in his life. His knees--may avoid replacement, but his hips are forecast to fail before the age of 60 (he's 44). I want him to learn to love to ride as much as I do just so he can prolong his somewhat good health as long as possible. I like hearing about riders who've been there and are still riding.
