Mountain Ride

A bit sore... but worth every minute..  Tried something that my crazy mentor has been pushing me to try... And actually I loved it.. Although had a few spills and have a few bruises and scratches tonight, ouch!!!  But I gained a huge amount of knowledge from it.  As Ralph would say.... you know it from riding a horse... you become one with what you're riding. So true, I total got it by the end of the 1.5 hour ride. Was scary at moments, but I quickly learned how to ride the "bumps", don't be afraid of the hills, lay off the front breaks as you descend, ride thru the obstacle if it is not too large and don't stop pedalling, and to dress lighter... It was cold out at first but took no time to warm up. Anyway... I would do it again in a heart beat! Thank you Rob for lending the bike! It will get some good use in the future.. I'm sure of it!  So as for the Gopro... my daughter said to me this morning... mom... make sure you don't forget to hit the start button.  Well I did that, I made sure of it, but I think something went wrong along the way. It was actually kind of weird! It might have been the bumps???  Out of he 1.5 hours riding... only 9 minutes were captured, but the weird part about it was ... in those 9 minutes, the first crash was captured, which was half way through the ride.  Seriously... so not planned.. Next time I hope to capture some of the wicked stuff I experienced today.  Side note... my son will love this and I can't wait to ride it with him... We will start with the double wides..

Well... I hope you enjoy the video... Stats: are listed
