You have to start somewhere, right?

Well we went again today. I was pretty fatigued from riding my roadie this morning. It was supposed to be a leisurely ride but anyway, I didn't try as many technical things. I still had a great time. I tried one narrow trail but it was all slightly downhill and twisty. I spent most of it cross training (walking).

The best thing I did was sent the boys to the BMX trail and road the fire roads myself. Even found a short trail with a few techincal (fairly easy but not for a beginner) and did those on my own. I am pretty excited to go again.

I also got the green light to take DH's old Mavic Crossmax tires. I am pretty stoked to get new shoes on my bike.

A female downhill racer gave me some great advice: If you're ever not sure you can ride something, walk it. There will come a day when you will approach it and know you can do it, and that's when you ride it.

Sounds like you're doing the right thing =)
