A wonderful thing has happened in my cycling life. I've discovered mountain biking and it's a lot of fun. A few weekends ago, Peter Murk and I went to visit Rick and Katy at the Bloomfeild Bicycle Company in Prince Edward County. The plan was to stay a couple of days and check out the mountain biking at McCauley Mountain, which is the local conservation area, friendly to the sport thanks to a responsible approach by Rick and Katy, and the Bloomfeild Mountain Biking club.

We went for an evening ride through the trails on the very Friday night we arrived and it was a blast! I've found a whole new aspect of cycling to get into and master. I was so impressed, I bought the 15 inch KHS comp softail they lent me to try, striking a deal the very next morning, even before my first cup of coffee!! So, as you can see in the picture below, now that I have a mountain bike, I'm laughing.

This pic was taken on time delay just after our ride. We were flexing our legs so when we're in our seventies, we can look back to the good old days, when hills we couldn't climb were few and far between.
