 My first ride in ~10 years
Well, this evening I finally got off my lazy off-(ski)season ass and tried out the mountain bike my wife bought me three years ago on something other than a neighborhood cruise. Had lots of fun and think I may have just rediscovered something to keep me busy in the summer. I rode for about an hour at White Memorial in Litchfield. Nothing technical - all doubletrack terrain, but enough ups and downs and turns to keep it interesting. Took me about 30 minutes to get used to anticipating shifting again and not be such a pansy. I'm still as slow as a dead snail, but it was fun getting back out there. Hope I can hook up with some AZers once I get some wind and basic skills built back up. |
