So glad to hear that you're doing well and back in the saddle!!!

Let me know if you ever want to get together and ride the gravel trails in Duke Forest (I won't venture onto single track, but think I could handle gravel )

oh emily! WELCOME BACK! it's SO nice to see you on the forums and to see that you've been out on the bike!!!!!!

i've missed you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome back Emily. Mountain biking is so much fun. Glad you have found a way to bike and be happy.

Oh, Emily, I'm really glad to see you again on the forum.

I was thinking of you a lot recently. I don't usually see dogs on my ride but I'm on Vancouver Island for a month, riding in much more rural settings, and happen to see many more big dogs roaming free around their master's house.... or venture beyond it. Which reminds me that I should have a conversation with my partner about what to do if a dog jumps in front of us...

I'm really happy you're back on a bike (any bike) and having fun. I was worried that maybe you had stopped riding for ever. I'm glad you're enjoying this!

Emily, thanks for the update - I've wondered where you went. What a year 2005 was for you but it sounds like you came out of it in a good place. The hiking sounds wonderful as does the time you spent with your hubby doing it. I'm glad you got back on the bike - and dirt is good To me that's one of the beautiful things about riding mountain bike - no traffic!

Keep us posted and it is wonderful hearinf from you again.

Great to hear from you, Emily. I remember your posts, not just from here but over at the Terry forum too (before it got hijacked). Glad to hear you're back on your bike. I was off mine for a while, too, though I didn't have nearly the traumas you've been through; but I remember that re-Eureka moment when I remembered that on the bike is where my whole self--body, mind, soul--wants to be. Brava!

Oh, Emily. I can't tell you how happy I am to see you back! I'm sitting here with tears in my eyes! I have thought of you often - especially last week, when I drove down I-85 past your little town. I am so very happy you're back riding & have found another way to do what you love. And also happy to learn you've found a love of hiking with your dh!
