mountain biking

A few years ago I started mountain biking.  I had been reading about it for months and decided that it really seemed like something I would enjoy.  There are also many trails close to my house, so it seemed like it would be a great way to get out and have fun while getting much needed exercise.

Since then I have been mountain biking constantly.  There is just nothing like the rush I get from descending a steep rocky mountain at high speeds.  It really gets my heart going!  Mountain biking has also provided me with a way to exercise that is far from the typical routine of exercise.  Each time I head out on my bike it is something different.  I never know what to expect.  I have seen so many different kinds of wildlife while I have been out mountain biking, too!  I have even gotten a few of my friends interested in riding, as well.  It is really great to be able to share the adventure and excitement with some of my close friends.  We always have a great time!
