took my bike off road for the first time today

[susand828]

I finally mustered up the nerve to take my bike on a mountain trail today(have had it 3 years and only been on roads:) I was pretty nervous(9 years of ER/ICU nursing does make it's mark on you). I managed to stay upright though and came home with all of my appendages and no gaping wounds. I can't wait to get better and more confident. Thanks for letting me share-I know it's silly-but is a big step for me because I have been so freaking scared to go off road.

Awesome!

I do sport to conquer fears to get to my goals. That's awesome that you're doing it!

awesome, well done. Keep at it and you'll hopefully be amazed at how your confidence improves. What's scary now, you won't even think twice about eventually. I'm the biggest chicken of all on the mtb.

Well done, I've been riding MTB for about 20 years and still get off to walk the steep, scary bits. So, NO! I'M THE BIGGEST CHICKEN!
