As for mtb, I'm still waiting for someone to give me a guided tour of Schaeffer so I can get to the next level without breaking my neck

And welcome, kmehrzad.
Thank you. I'm enjoying reading all the posts. This site is extremely informative. And you're right, I imagine ww kayaking is very comparable to mtb'ing. I've also taken my recreational kayak through Class II waters on the Potomac, a foolhardy thing to do but pushing the limits to see what can be done in it. Once one hits 50, I've been told we women tend to 'throw caution to the wind.'
