19.86 miles (31.96 kilometers to you CC ) this weekend. The wildflowers are amazing and I am finally starting to get mildly comfortable. I am still a bit hesistant on some downhills but I will get there. I am still trying to get to know my new bike, we're at 85 miles since I put the computer on it. Maybe 100 miles total.

I soared over a local trail that always gives me trouble (Rocky Ridge for locals), I didn't get my pedals stuck between boulders, I didn't fall, I made it to the top of all those rocky hills. I may have scared some wild life screaming f&^k yeah it was soooooo good.

Hi ~ I'm somewhat new (again) to TE, and this is the first post on the mtn bike forum as of yet. I am dipping my toes into the water of cycling again (use to road and trail), and well, as I've got a dog to run, and I live in the backwoods, I figure, though it may be physically more challenging to do so, I would start 'back into riding' on my mtn bike. Just little tiny rides for now, baby steps all the way baby. In a few moments I am going out for a little spin, run the dog, and work it out. Wish me luck !

Dirt time with the dog is the best. I started trail riding again just to exercise the dog. Just start slow, for both you and the dog. I found a nice flat trail loop out to a river and back, about 5 miles total. It's perfect, but when we started, we'd do half the loop. On the steeper trails I'm not against walking the bike, and if its if'y technical stuff I'm still walking. Keeping it about being in the woods, letting the dog run, until the skills kick in.
You'll have a great time!
