No kidding! That would be nice!There is a local mountain bike club, but I'm not sure I want to deal with the hammerfests that group rides often turn into. I ride my bike to get away from stress and pressure. If I'm going to suffer, it's going to be on my own terms!
It would be nice to have riding partners that just enjoyed the ride, rather than trying to make me relive my sufferfest days in Sport class mountain bike racing back in 1993.

agreed! I am in no mans land because I just want to ride.......to ride! I may race someday,.when my kids are older...my sons are sweet to ride with me sometimes, but I hold them back so usually we separate. Though we have one awesome loop with go arounds that we can do together and I skip the insane jumps...........

Luv2climb - I don't know what got your dander up, but basically you clearly implied that because no one on other forums posted the info I gave you that my statements were not credible. Yet, here I am married to someone who would have the FACTS about deaths and mountain lion POPULATIONS plus attacks in CA state recreation areas, not just relating forum hearsay. You want me to get him on the phone for you? Would that be more credible?
I can't believe I'm being berated for sharing that I have personally seen a lion on that specific trail who was in perfect position to leap.
We all weigh out the risks and benefits of any sport. Even though there may have been no attacks there, doesn't mean the potential doesn't exist. I just wanted you to be aware of some FACTS that you may not have known. Feel free to go about your business, as I will mine.Frends know gud humors when dey is hear it. ~ Da Crockydiles of ZZE.

Are you reading my posts clearly? I'm not berating you or calling you a liar. I'm just saying I never read about mountain lion attacks or deaths at Salmon Falls anywhere else. I am a member of MTBR, which is one of the biggest mountain biking forums out there, if not the biggest. I posted the same ride report there, on BikeForums, Social Cyclists, and in the off-topic section of Road Bike Review. Nobody ever told me the same stuff you did. That doesn't mean you're lying. It just means nobody told me the same thing. That's all.
I think you're the one being over-sensitive, not me. I never said you were lying. I'm sorry if you took it that way.
