A beautiful weekend to take your mother for a nice little bike ride! NOT! On Sunday the boys took me up Fox Mountain for a leisurely stroll....After 2 1/2 hours riding down a mountain, I was ready for a stiff drink and a massage! HOLY CRAP! Now I know why it's called mountain biking!
Vertical drops and deep gullies, trees everywhere that are much too close together, I have a new respect for my boys , they are all amazing riders!
Thank you M...for not getting mad at me ...when I was ready to give up! And thanks L and C for not pointing and laughing, when I fell and wanted to cry!
Here's me on my new bike , after our second day of downhill terror! I'm not smiling...I'm wincing in Pain, because every little bone and muscle in my body is wondering what in the Heck is going on! Did you know that there is little bones/muscles in your butt that don't allow you to sit on the seat the 2nd day! I know tomorrow I will have a hard time getting out of bed. Thank God , that the weekend is over!
And a big THANK YOU to Laureen.... for driving me back up to get the van , and lending the boys money to get a drink while they waited for me to return. I love that my cell phone works in the middle of no where.
This is my new helmet... it has a hummingbird on it and Pink straps.....nice and girly and the kids won't steal it!
Oh and these are my new battle scars!! WAA HOO! Scabs and mosquito bites
I'm not one of the boys , but I'm definately not a girly girl either ! It actually was kinda fun and I'm sure I'll get the hang of it....eventually

Hey, Shan!! Looks like you had an interesting ride out there, battle scars and all! I am sure the boys got a kick out of your reactions, and enjoyed being able to show you just how good they are at that crazy sport.
At least you have a helmet Shan-much purtier than my plain jane one-I'll have to work on that...hope you are getting around better now!
OMG!!! You are sooo much braver than me! I hope the guys realize how lucky they are to have you! Hope you're healing up! So glad you took the time for photos!
