So last night, I rode Theo Worth trails for the second time. I finally got my new mountain bike and decided to take it out and get better and back in touch with this whole mtn biking thing. After showing up and realizing my friend and I were the only morons not wearing helmets, I knew the night was going to be quite an experience...10 years out of the sport...new bike...no helmet...2nd time on trail. Well, it was amazing...except two things...I went over my handle bars on what could have been a beautiful brake stand (endo) into a small tree but was able to catch myself in mid-air somehow and ride away with only a scrapped knee...and I followed two guys off onto the very rough technical trail where I almost wet myself. As I rode through the woods I imagined one of those personal ads I could take out in local mags to aleviate some of my near tree-hugging experiences. It would probably look like this:
Married white male seeking mountain bike companion. Have been outta the scene for quite some time and looking for someone to gently ease me back into the sport. Must have up-to-date First Aid experience...EMT a bonus. Hoping for someone with hawk-like vision and the vocal ability to shout "ROCK" from quite a distance. Will have a gentle shoulder to cry on when I can't seem to make it over those damn logs and stay ON my bike. A mechanical knowledge of moutain biking maintanence is a bonus (especially truing of rims). Am available to ride at any time, but best when trail is as easy as possible. Would love to hear from you...call me!
Hahahahaha! But on the serious side, I had so much fun on the trails and got another friend addicted! Thanks to all you guys out there that are kind riders and not laughing at my seriously poser-like abilities...I was the one standing in the woods on the side of the trail letting you pass. What a great night!!
