    Just posted some pictures of the bike. For some reason they won't upload with my Android phone.

    Indy.... we had a great time!...finally I found something that we can do together and really enjoy. He crashed a few times (nothing to worry about) because he got scared on the narrow parts of the trail and zig zags but he liked it. Like I said ....I don't know much about mountain biking but I definitely know how to control speed and turns and how to use the brakes to slow down and balance. I went the first 35 minutes up front ,but then I let him lead so I could coach him the best I could. I feel soo good !...can't wait for our next ride.

    Thanks .. This is my new toy...I was feeling like a teenager while riding ..lol.....I still have my new road bike on its way. And I really thought I was going to get that one first... but I was so excited to be able to do something with my son that the road bike can wait a couple more weeks. I need to workout with the new road bike ASAP though....for an event in September that I signed up for (50 miles category)

    Congratulations!! It is a fun discipline, I never thought I would be a mountain biker but it has a way of sucking you in. Have fun learning and riding with your son.

    Truer words have never been said! I am finding that I'm actually looking forward to single-track rides more than road rides--this comes a HUGE surprise to me (since I fall down a LOT)!

    I love that you are riding with your DS. My son is 11 and we have fun riding together, too. Someday I will be eating his dust...probably in the next 2 years, I suspect!

    It is an addicting activity, even when you fall as often as I do

    I fell yesterday once and my son crashed several times but it was fun!! As a matter of fact I wanted to ride harder and faster..but needed to hold back and wait for him.


    Riding with him is the best part of the whole thing!!! ...I am affraid if he really get into this mTbiking he will eventually get his buddies and forget about mom but thats ok...if that happens?...I can live with that.... I just want him to get involve in some type of sport and get some exercise.
