Mountain Biking!

My first time to the "Rock Pile." A feat that needs to be recorded I am told.


I have found an old friend! Ben and I used to bike quite a bit, but when I got pregnant with Jesse, I no longer made the time...until this week. We are going to Italy in 2 weeks to bike in Tuscany for a week, so I thought that maybe I should ride a little before I go. Tues--I decided to just get my feet wet, so I went from my house to Vivians and back on the river trail--15 miles. Wed, Thurs, Saturday--I actually went on some single track. It was so fun and such a good work out. Now I am hooked, and can't wait to spend lots of time on the trails this summer with the huz and sister.

Meanwhile...I am also training for a half marathon at the end of summer. All this riding and running better melt that baby fat away. I don't know if my body has ever been worked as hard as it has this week. I'm planning an adventurous summer to say the least.

Yay! I'm so excited you are back on the bike. I love mountain biking, cause you can have so much fun and also get a killer workout at the same time. I so wish we didn't live so far away from Donner cause we would have LOVED to bring our mountain bikes. Seriously, Donner is the BEST mountain biking you can find. So what bike is Ben building for you? Are you going to go with the Ibis too? I can't wait till our friends move here cause we will trade babysitting all the time. We will babysit their kids so they can go out on a date, and she will babysit our kids so we can bike (which is the best kind of date anyway).
