#1 rule of enjoying riding.........find some other woman to ride with!!!!!!!! I started mt biking with my sons (sweet bought me a bike for mothers day cuz we have always backpacked together) BUT they demoralized and killed me riding,............ until I connected with the Luna Chix training team and found out "50 yr old women DO NOT go off 6 ft ramps!!!!!) lol now I ride with my sons too,.but do the go a rounds or say...meet ya.........
