I have a mountain bike... it needs to have loads of lights, methinks or I'll slip in the cow poo in the front paddock!

My overriding goal this year is to get huge gains in bike fitness until we hit the holidays, so that when I have to spend the next six months working/studying 65 hours/week I have some shred of bike fitness to maintain, and regain when that horrible study season is over.
But I'm a pretty lazy person. So I set a couple of intermediate goals to keep me motivated. The first is coming up in a month: the Test of Endurance. A local 50 mile mountain bike race with about 7,000 feet of climbing. Now that it's getting close I'm completely freaked out.
I've managed to get a bit of coaching now, at the last minute, and I'm hoping it'll help. I just want to finish.
After the mountain bike season ... I'm going to race 'cross. That should be freakin' hi-larious. I'm going to need to start practicing mounting and dismounting the day after the Test. It aint gonna be pretty.
I don't crash so much anymore (less blood on the trail), so just call me Stephanie
I'll tell you what I think of bicycling. I think it has done more to emancipate women than any one thing in the world. I rejoice every time I see a woman ride by on a bike. It gives her a feeling of self-reliance and independence the moment she takes her seat; and away she goes, the picture of untrammelled womanhood. ~ Susan B. Anthony

Crankin, you should totally ride at Great Brook either Thursday nights at 5:30 or 6:00 (women only, leaving from the paved parking lot) or Fridays at 6 (skills). Here's more info on the latter: http://www.nemba.org/forums/showthre...805#post158805

Love mountain biking.
I like it, but I don't love it. Right now I much rather go put 40 miles on my road bike than hit the dirt. It's a work it progress, and it will help once I pick up a mtb that fits me! I work in a shop so there really is no excuse

I'd like to learn how to bunny hop my bike up a curb. I could do it as a kid, but haven't tried since then, and never on a road bike. It's a good skill to have for emergencies. Good thing my new bike is steel!
