Mountain Biking

My husband is painting my bike this week. He paints cars for his job, so we thought we would take advantage of the easy access to a good and very inexpensive paint job. My bike is a very manly army green right now and since I am neither a man nor manly, I decided I wanted something more feminine without being too girly. We chose a deep metallic purple; it's going to look very cool.

In all the mountain biking I have done since getting engaged to my husband, I have found that one thing every serious mountain biker needs is a good hydration pack. My husband has been biking a lot longer than I have, so we spend hours on trails and in the mountains and I couldn't survive without one.

Unfortunately, my hydration pack couldn't help me last weekend when I had my first real bike crash. Besides the huge goose egg and bruise covering my left thigh and not being able to move my shoulder, it was a pretty cool crash. I'm looking forward to many more.
