That is a beautiful picture! I haven't ridden as many miles this year, either, but enough, just over 2K so far. I thought it might be a 3K year, but I'll be lucky to get to my lowest acceptable goal of 2,500. I love hiking, but we don't do any serious stuff, just local hikes and occasional smaller mountains in New England. I don't like technical, rocky descents (just like riding), but I could be convinced to improve. I find most of my hiking on bigger trails gets done on snow shoes in the winter, which pretty much makes me fearless.
