Hiked 2 hours today on a mountain bike trail with no neck issues. Been doing pretty hard workouts with only occasional twinges in my neck. In the next two weeks I am going to ride on the road as much as possible...because in a little over 2 weeks I am planning to take my Jamis to a local VERY vanilla trail and see what happens It is a beginning.

I know a couple who think I shouldn't return to the trail due to my severe whiplash injury and they are concerned it might happen again...but I won't allow fear to keep me from something that I enjoy so very much - there is so much freedom to flying through the trees on the dirt trails - even at MY slow rate of speed
