<p>Isn't it fun! I always feel like a buoy on those mtn bikes. Keep thinking I'll fall off the bike, but the thick tires, geometry and shocks make such a difference. And usually it's SO beautiful.</p>

<p>That being said, I did fall once in Colorado and have a scare to prove it. </p>

Just got back from vacation, and I have to say that I LOVED mountain biking!!! I shocked myself. I have to admit I was more than skeptical. I followed all of your tips, and was surprised at how instinctual it all was. I followed closely enough behind my bf to watch and mimic his moves. I had such a blast and think I have caught the mountain biking bug!! One thing I will say is that I was really taken back by just how much more exhausting it is than road biking.

I think that I will definitely ride more cautiously. I'm looking forward to the challenge. I'm sure that it will be like nothing I've ever done before. I hope that I get so into it that I just relax and have fun!
