[QUOTE="firecracker22, post: 636447, member: 20316"] In my intermittent attempts to excercise, I have recently dusted off my beat up Trek and taken it to the trails. There are a ton of places around here (Spokane, WA area) that are GREAT trails but inaccessible to dirt bikes. Let me tell you singletrack on a mountain bike is a whole different ballgame. It's harder, I think--things I'm used to going right over the top of I now have to look for a line around. It turns a collection of small rocks into a giant minefield. Even my two whole inches of front suspension doesn't make a difference (poor Keith on his no-suspension bike). And of course there's the whole peddling part. Pretty fun though! I have some great looking bruises now. :) One thing though . . . I can't quite reconcile myself to the helmets. Compared to a motorcycle helmet, they are SOOOOO silly looking. Bbbom, we ended up at the Bowl and Pitcher, riding from the suspension bridge up to 7-Mile bridge via some singletrack down along the river, then up the road to some dirt roads to see where they went, and back to the Bowl via the paved Centennial Trail. It was a pretty good ride. The singletrack part was fun--not the same as on a real bike but still cool. I seem to have a problem with shifting on uphills--I can't get down into a lower gear soon enough and then when it finally does shift I spin out or do something really graceful. Is it me? I'm too blonde to operate my shifters it seems. Keith rode it around and didn't find anything wrong, so it apparently is me. As soon as I get my endurance up a little we should go. I'd be kinda embarrassed to ride with Your Fitness Highness until I can at least do a little better at keeping up. You think I'm a tagalong on a bike, you should see me on my mountain bike. :confused: [/QUOTE]
