if you ask me what my favorite hobbies are, i will reply with the usual: shopping, sleeping, watching chick flicks, shopping, sleeping, reading, traveling, eating out.. but never in a million years would mountain biking have been one of those. you see since i'm in the business of branching out & being so passionate about Christ & going crazy by joining life groups that I don't have to join... i joined the mountain biking group at our church.
my husband went biking first.. before the launch of small groups. and they all had a great time. my husband actually fell off a "bridge" and his arm was badly scratched & he was sore from the fall for a few days.
he put the "fail" on this pic. lol
and i joined the following week.
we were so excited that he overcame his fear of the "bridge" and rode back over it without falling off! woohoo! it was a great time hearing everyone cheer for my hubby! my only goal of the bike ride was to make it past that one bridge.. because that would have meant i lasted longer than brandon on my first go. and i did it!! we rode about 10.5-12 miles. i actually made it the whole way & my legs were not sore the next day or two.
i went last sunday without brandon because he was getting over a dumb stomach bug that had his violently vomitting & other fun stuff for like 4-6 days. we went to a different location.. which was harder. and i started off riding in the highest gears for about 2 miles until i realized that my bike was not in the right gears. and it was mostly uphill. i seriously almost died. so i went the easy route with a few people and only really rode 4 miles altogether. my legs just burned because i had been uphill & the highest gears.. everyone said i was trying to out-do them. heehee!
