A cruise around Lagunas on Sunday morning with side trip to check out Monument Peak. Did not disappoint!

Not a thing from our perspective, but it was a real crap-shoot. We're talking about a girl that did not ride as a kid, did not enjoy riding her beach-cruiser as an adult, had a very traumatic spinal fusion with two decades of chronic pain thereafter, and a spinal cord stimulator implanted (which ultimately resulted in a massive reduction in pain as it seemingly helped heal the old nerve damage).

It's a real joy to see and share the combo of giddy anticipation, fear, and thrilled enjoyment she's getting out of it.

Yesterday was her first actual dirt trail ride (Hodges), after a dozen or so street/sidewalk rides. It was a short Hodges run, with a La Costa Nascar run for me afterward. :cheers:

Congratulations Avid. A whole new world has opened up.

Sounds like a trip around Laguna Lake is in you near future.

Thanks! Almost went up to the meadow yesterday, but reconsidered until she can spin a few more miles first.

That's awesome, Avid. Keep it going, but watch the pace. Nobody needs a setback.
