new mountain biker

Hi, I'm new here and a new mountain biker. I had a baby about 4 months ago and those exercise videos just weren't motivating me so my husband went out and bought me a rainier mtb. Then he dropped me off on a trail (we live in Denver, CO) and told me to have fun. I was skeptical, but I fell in love! Now I ride wherever I can. I just started biking home from work which is an 11 mile bike ride. It is hard for me (I am out of shape!), but I loved it and want to do it everyday.
I guess I just want to learn how to really bike. I want to become one of those bikers who just goes and goes kind of like the quote from Armageddon-all go, no quit.
Any encouragement or suggestions? Anyone else in my area?
Thanks
RD
