First of all, WHAT? TWO bear sitings!!! LOL at the pooped your pants part. And I think you're supposed to play dead when you see a bear, but not sure how the mtn bike factors in to that...I used to love mtn biking, until I always seemed to end up with bloody knees and elbows and subsequently discovered the merits of road riding. You are a stud though!!!KKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14000274933357972123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8021154093098498497.post-55148913257350329912009-09-19T17:11:34.583-06:002009-09-19T17:11:34.583-06:00you are my hero miss julie!! total rockstar on th...you are my hero miss julie!! total rockstar on the MTB - you gotta fall sometimes! oh, very glad you didn't have an issue with the bears though. i gotta get my bike in shape so we can go!! <br /><br />oh, and i am amazed sometimes that mike let's you out of the house, haha.

I'...Julie you have the most amazing adventures. I've ridden the mountain bike a few times too, once with friends in the mountains and it was really frustrating for me. As much as I loved being outside with friends, I'm so bad at riding over rocks and roots. Although I already know part of my problem is that I pump my tires up too full. I think it's the roadie/triathlete in me that is too stubborn to go with the lower air pressure. Maybe this is somthing you need to check?? It really does make a huge difference for bike control. Oh and your blog made me remember somthing I forgot to write about in my RR. I won't steal your thunder by writing about it here, but you will seriously laugh your ass off.runningmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04741958241490144866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8021154093098498497.post-3076280735463830212009-09-17T16:01:52.837-06:002009-09-17T16:01:52.837-06:00I love the term "knob" and forgot all ab...I love the term "knob" and forgot all about it until your post. However, you are NOT a knob. <br /><br />I can't believe you saw those bears and weren't scared!!! I was scared just reading your account of them. <br /><br />And the wasp? I hate being stung!!!!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00027221614900215898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8021154093098498497.post-17128220330231458462009-09-17T15:32:38.208-06:002009-09-17T15:32:38.208-06:00You ride your mtn bike clipped in?

I am terrified to try, I fall off so much I think I would kill myself if I was clipped in...<br />Your hill sounds fun though- well other than the bear encounters!Amber Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02495066839937055346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8021154093098498497.post-1860193561075072962009-09-17T12:41:58.623-06:002009-09-17T12:41:58.623-06:00I had a sandwich in hand (BBQ turkey breast with 5...I had a sandwich in hand (BBQ turkey breast with 5 year old Balderson Cheddar on a Tuscan Herb Thintini bun) while reading your blog, but didn't dare take a bite till I was done. I figured the spit potential was much too high, and I wasn't far wrong. Your life never ceases to amaze me.

You on speed or what? If anyone ever says you live a normal life I will argue that is a lie until my last big gulp of air. 1) PLEASE let me video tape you on your mountain bike. It would be a great youtube vid!! 2) I sould have pooped if I saw the bears. I would have crashed. The bears would have feasted on my hamstrings and I would have died on the side of a big hill. Julie seems to get out of her little predicaments quite nicely - Yeah!!<br />3) You crack me up!! <br />Love ya! and where will you bike today?Jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16271587857910381627noreply@blogger.com
