Well, I heard this one loud and humbly proud. I went out on my first true mtb trail recently thinking "well, it's less than 10mi, that should take me no time". NOT...

I'm the same (roadie girl that also found dirt). One of my die hard bike guy buds (who was a mtb first, roadie second) says, "road is about the lungs, the trail is about strength".

Of course road takes strength in other ways, but the trail is a whole diff ball game for sure. And, a different kind of fun.

Glad you had fun on your ride.
