DH and I met through road riding, but I didn't start mountain biking until after we were married. I take an insane about a pleasure from the look of pride he has on his face when we're on the trail together, and I'm holding my own. I know he's really happy that I decided--with a lot of hestitation--to give it an honest try (thanks for the motivation, Catrin), and he's thrilled that I'm loving it as much as I do. We come back way more amped from our mtb rides than our road rides. That's not a diss on road riding; we're just really enjoying the time we spend together on the trails.
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
