I fell down a cliff in 2007 while mountain biking. I had gotten so skittish on my mountain bike that I walked some downhill sections of the White Rim Trail - a pretty easy trail. We did a clinic in Crested Butte this summer - that ended up being more like a private tour. The feedback from the guides and a new bike has given me back much of my confidence. My brain still freaks out sometimes, but it seems a more "rational" freak out now.

I have never really liked road riding with large groups - too many people who either don't obey the rules, or just have poor bike handling skills.
