So now that we are chatting I want to post about my ride yesterday. My hubby, and best biking buddy got his bike back after three weeks in the shop. So off we went to our usual ride spot. He was a bit concerned about having lost his edge and some biking fitness. (ha ha ha) I was leading, and for about the first hour he mellowly followed while I pushed as hard as I could. And then, deciding that he felt pretty good after all, zooooooommmmm. Off he went.
It was great to have him back. He spotted me on a couple of obstacles that I have been working on, and really pushed me to ride hard.

And I sucked him in to signing up for a 12 hour race that I am doing next week. Loss of fitness my butt.
Tomorrow we are going out with three other guys, so I will spend a couple of hours eating dust and chasing the last guys wheel...

I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah Ruth, I have been working on fitness for the last couple months. My biking craze and the gas prices inspired my husband to start commuting-- a short four miles to work.

I took him up a trail last Saturday thinking I could whip his hiney. Wrong! He rode up that canyon without hardly breaking a sweat as I huffed and puffed my way along. Doesn't seem fair!

I'M A DIRTY GIRL!!! Sorry got excited! I am an all for having a little section for us. My bike is a giant xtc, I ride both dirt and road. I have road tires on it right now with knobby's on the side of the tires in case i want to go off road a bit. I don't have any injury's yet. My dh gets enough for the both of us (still nursing a dislocated fingure from 3 weeks ago after going over handle bars).
This site has been great for all kinds of info. I started coming here cause I am going on my first big bike trip this year. Doing fire roads up in colorado to Utah. Had a lot of ? and have got a lot of great answers here. Who could we talk to to get a seperate sec?

I'm another dirt girl here. Haven't spent as much time on the dirt as I was, but I love jumping between the trails and the road when I'm training. It is just so relaxing to me, and the best way to go for a ride with friends and is how I got introduced to biking!

I must say I'm not all MTB girl but I just came back from a race called Willed Sljeme (Sljeme is the name of the mountain near me) where I had so much fun. Although I prefer my road bike, from time to time it's quite refreshing to get all dirty and just being "wild" in the slopewise path rushing over 25 km/h downhill...
... I support your suggestion

Hope you have a newbie section for MTBikers too. I *really* need to get better at this since it's dh's favourite activity. I am so overly-cautious when I probably don't need to be and I sure would like to get over it....

Dirt Angel reporting in (that's what my jersey says ).
I think that would be a great addition to this board. I've lurked on other mtb forums but they seem either very hard core or too much testosterone. How about it admin?

I did my firt 6 hour solo mtb race yesterday. Off to post my ride report....
