Veronica,

You give me hope that maybe one day I'll try mountain biking again and have more luck at it next time. I think the strong legs thing is one of the many things I was missing. Well, that, and I was scared to death!! I don't know now mountain bikers can go through all those trees, roots, rivers and everything else they do, at the speeds they do it!! I kept running into the bushes when the trail would turn in either direction. I love hiking and packing so much - it would be great to feel confident riding on the mountain trails. Maybe next year I'll give it another shot.

It's great that you ride so many different types of bikes. I'm not sure my sweetie have the communication skills for tandem! haha!!
