You see my husband like many guys thought 18 years ago it would be AWESOME to take his then girlfriend on a Mountain Bike trip with the guys. He was wrong!!!! We didn't ride any of the Easy trails, because guys don't do that it is either Blue or Black trails or go HOME!!! Home is where I was wanting to be the whole time on the trail, white knuckles and all. I swore that day I would NEVER go Mountain biking again.
Well, Fast forward 16 years and then my husband says honey a bunch of families are going Mountain biking do you want to go??? I am thinking is he crazy doesn't he know I swore never to Mountain bike again. But he ensured me it would be Easy trails, but I was still worried since my last encounter I never knew there was a thing as a easy trail.
So, I went still skeptical of what I had gotten myself into!!! Crazy thing was there were EASY trails I had a Complete Blast!!! I enjoyed the Nature around me, because I wasn't scared to death. Since that Family ride, I have tried Trails that I thought I would never try, I did a 6 hour Mountain bike race with my two Legacy Ladies and friends to which again was sold to me as a EASY course, Correction not Easy but did it!!!
And this Coming Sunday I am doing it again, but this Time I can't WAIT!!! I am so EXCITED to race, and so the moral of this story is Don't be Afraid!! And start with the EASY trails and move up from there. I have made so many memories have grown as a person and athlete trying this great Sport. If you love to road bike, the skills you use on the Mountain bike will help you on the road. I can't wait to share with you about my Adventures on the bike this Sunday.
