She finished talking to me quickly ... I think she thought I am either FOS or insane. It is interesting how non athletic people view such activities.

I love climbing. You are also rewarded with a fun down hill ...
I once hit about 50 mph coming down off of Green Pond Mtn near my home. I did NOT feel good about my tires and didn't even want to think about my brakes.
