Beautiful Sunshine, and enough snow to ski, we could not resist going for a play. This is our local village where we live, it's close to Rivington where we usually go mountain biking. I had been tempted to take my bike out in the snow yesterday until I heard about the broken bones my friends have suffered over the past few days, doing just that. The bikes will stay locked away, until the freeze is over. NOTE: Groovy Tribe AMG 11, Jan 2010.

IF YOU CAN GET TWO WHEELS OFF THE GROUND, YOU CAN JOIN !

Ever wonder why we women feel the need to kit ourselves out in full body armour and full face helmet? Then we speed downhill on a hugh full sus. mountain bike with massive travel ? I've actually sometimes made the sign of the cross before attempting my descent at Fort William. So what makes a woman throw herself down a steep rocky mountain knowing full well the chance of injury is huge? It's adrenalin, It's almost like a drug, a must have and to be honest, if I could bottle adrenalin, I'd make a fortune, the rush you get is like no other. Well it is close to one other thing and there is something appealing (to very few, certain women) about the danger of the sport. I guess it's about strength, energy, power of the mind, control and confidence, if you can channel your mind and body to accept the danger it's a massive acheivement. If I'm totally honest there is also something very sexy about the danger aspect of the sport. Think Lara Croft and you get my meaning. Yeah right, we don't even come close to that image, but there's no harm in trying. (actually there is harm in trying) If you're female and you would like more information about us: flyingchick@btinternet.com
