You bet!
I have to find some good local rides - it'll be cool to find some other people to ride with. One of the guys I met suggested a few clubs around here, so I'm checking them out.
Oh man- and the bruises are coming out fast and furious- where I got nailed in the thigh is quite ugly! Doesn't really hurt though.
And I'm noticing more bruises on my knees.
The people at work look at me askance.( I wear shorts- it's hot at work) What are you doing to yourself??!! they cry..but hey: it's an adventure!
When I tell them they look shocked and or sceptical. They can't see that it could be fun
To me they are badges of almost- courage. Or at least the desire to try something new and different.
Hey- it's pretty neat to be galloping all over the muddy slick trails at age 47, right??

IN the meantime:
here are pictures of my first time...
