Intro to Mountain biking - REI outdoor school, Nov 1st

- something to the extent of how girls make it through childhood without learning any bike handling skills at all and have to take classes, while boys just naturally play and pick it all up...

Aye. Boys learn with frequent trips to the hospital emergency room. Girls are smarter than that!

How's your cardio?? Schaeffer isn't so technical that you can't get by without some good cardio skills and work around the technical stuff. Besides. We'd wait at intersections.

I'm not sure, when my older sister was 15 she somehow hit a rock while riding a bike and ended up getting stitches in her privates. She hasn't been on a bike ever since... she just recently expressed interest in getting a bike to ride with her daughter (it's been more than 20 years...) I left an old bike at my Mom's for her, but she's yet to pick it up. I guess she was smarter than going to the emergency room twice!

Cardio's fine - I've been road biking a ton lately. I won't promise not to get chainsuck on hills or something stupid, however.

Speaking of cardio, I should go get on the trainer... Left work thinking I'd brave the temps and wind to ride tonight, but then the rain started...

The mtb rides we've done at Rosaryville have been at a relatively moderate pace with, as Regina mentioned, stops for everyone to catch up and catch their breath. I was a singletrack virgin the first time we rode there and I survived, so I've been wanting to give Schaeffer a try. A little muscle here, a little cardio there, good reflexes and paying attention seem to be all it takes for the easier trails. And if you hit technical stuff, you just get off and walk.

I really wish I could join you all.




Stitches in her privates??? Man, no wonder she didn't get on a bike for 20 years!

Yeah, she still goes off about it every so often. I'm surprised she lets my 9 year old niece ride a bike. I brought my niece some roller blade last weekend, so I should call and check that she's still in one piece.

Sounds like I'm in for Schaeffer on Veteran's Day unless something comes up.
