    What's the point in living if you don't feel alive?

    Toying with ones mortality shouldn't be this much fun.

    What about the occasional male who wants to go for a ride too?

    Also I can't help but think 'tequila' when you say lemon.

    For new riders thats a nice ride. But make sure to take rests and take gear for changing in case it gets colder. Make sure you take some water as well as you will dehydrate on longer rides.

    Best advice ever! Would 'like' that comment if I knew how on my phone.

    That is so our theme song now!

    I like tequila. But maybe after the ride. I don't ride well sober. I'm not sure drinking will make it any better.

    P.S. sorry if I'm not doing this post thing right either!
    Welcome! I would totally suggest trying to get yourself a mentor or buddy up with a more (as in years of) experienced rider. SASS is a great example. It's also nice to spend time with other newbies as you tend to egg another on, I have a friend in Taupo and we've been good for one another like that, lol. That said it's good to mix it up a bit and ride by yourself or with aforementioned experienced riders. Nice to ride with other newbies but I tended to keep it at a minimum when I first started riding as it's super easy to learn other peoples bad habits.How long have you been riding?
    Becoming fearless isn't the point. That's impossible. It's learning how to control your fear, and how to be free from it.

    I think, generally speaking, blokes are more likely to just go off and ride. Wherever. And they never "get lost" along the way, they only ever "discover new routes or riding circuits" when they end up taking a few more hours than perhaps originally intended when they started out...

    Time is usually the biggie for me: I don't have lots of down time in which to just jump on the bike and head out for a blat; I tend to use my bike more for going somewhere I need to be or I plan my route for ride-time. As one of those "I hate getting myself lost out in the middle of nowhere and having no clue how to find my way back to a familiar location" (hey, I can get lost in a shopping mall...) I tend to stick with familiar trails that offer a known circuit or one on which getting lost is highly unlikely.

    Neither of you are Green Lemons tho.

    On a side note I really didn't realise biking was such a brand hobby/sport.

    People ask what my jacket is. It's leather.

    If you sit next to a window it's even worse. Because then you can see how great the weather is.
