My heart is in MTBiking. I love being in the trees and have a blast! And, yes, at my peak, I can be fast doing that....not this year tho' I also have a road bike which is meant mostly for training. HOwever, the roads, and the riding community, here are so much more road-biking friendly, that I suspect I'll do more of it! Up in Williams Lake, there is less riding season, and the roads are terrible! Not to mention the drivers who don't have a clue!

If we make enough progress on the unpacking and organizing this week, we might even get to ride those bikes! yay! I have new pedals for my road bike that I haven't even tried!!

When you ride to Vernon, do you plan to stop for a visit and look around, or turn right back around and go back? If you've got the time or inclination, it would be nice to meet you in person! Always grreat getting to know other riders in the neighbourhood!

Cheers!

We were talking about whether we should stop to eat or something. It will be my longest, hardest ride by far when I do it and I am very afraid that if I stop, I won't be able to get moving again - something about age and fitness level I think? I think we'll take some food with us and stop in a park for 10-15 minutes before we turn around and head home. I find that when I'm on my bike, I feel like I can go forever, but once I stop, I can barely walk up the stairs - aack!

However, it IS cool to meet someone close by on this forum isn't it? I'm sure we can meet in real life at some point.

Good luck getting back to MTBiking - I'm in awe of you all. I guess you will be spending some time up at Silver Star? Erik and I were in Rossland, the MTBike capital of Canada, a few weeks ago. I still have bruises and scabs on my calves...
