I adore the road - but the guy I adore, loves the trails - SOOO over the past few years, I have 'transformed' him into a roadie (can you say Merlin!!! ) - and he has very patiently instructed me in mtn techniques ('Don't brake! Don't brake! Just let the bike roll over the logs(rocks/etc.)')

I must admit I am terrified 95% of the time

I guess life is one big compromise, especially when the local trails are rocky singletrack...
