I thought bicycling would be a kind and gentle exercise. Holy Cow was I wrong! We went on our maiden biking voyage to The GORBA trail at Guelph Lake. GORBA stands for Guelph Off Road Biking Association. Good thing we had mountain bikes with good brakes! I fell off a number of times! We drove over rocks and through mud holes. I thought I was going to kill myself a few times. At one point, going down a treacherous hill, my sunglasses flew off and l promptly ran over them and shattered them in pieces. I cut my leg. My muscles ache.....and I feel great! I had a heck of a time keeping up with my slim and trim 20 yearold. There were even a few trails that we had to leave for another time due to our in experience and my physical condition. I am convinced however that I can do it.

LOL.... Funniest thign I read today so far! Keep it up Don. If you're lucky, maybe you'll break a leg next time...
Hilarious. Well done.
OK, so day two wasn't as rosey. I definately couldnt keep up with my son, who had to take a few solo runs to avoid the boredom of riding with dad. Definately every bone in my body aches. I huffed and puffed but did still manage an hour and a half of intensive exercise. I'm not going to give up, but I am going to rest up for next Saturday at which time I will try it all again. This sport is definately exciting.
