*giggles* Thanks! Yeah, riding the roads is what really helped me to get better endurance and everytime I'd get back on the trails with my best bud, I could keep up with him a crud of a lot better. ^^ Every now and then, my body will ask for hills and I'll do a whole bunch (really fun 'cause after you get to the top of the hills then you get to down really fast ). I'm to the point where I like hills...I must be a freak I think....
