There is this threshold, the nearer you get to it the more you detest your mountain bike. And then you find yourself crossing over to the dark side and you can't get enough. I now live on the dark side.
You will rock it/are rocking it on the dark side Reading about the adventures of you, and the other TE mtb women makes my own learning curve somehow much easier. In my wilder moments I would love to try an endurance mtb event at some point in the future, which is kind of silly since I need to focus on the basics...but it is a fun thought - even if I never reach that skill level With my neck in the shape it is I probably shouldn't try any kind of racing, but it is fun to think about!
