Favorite Trails: Sweetwater
I started mountain biking last May and have been addicted ever since. I've ridden road on-off, but family and work have limited my rides to:

1) early Saturday am SOUTH BAY rides (if no sports practice or birthday parties),
2) occasional rides at lunch that I can squeeze in, and
3) "night" rides at 4:30 am until 6 am to get the kids ready for school

I get some exceptions- an occasional Sunday am, a North County ride, a rare weekday night ride, and a race or ride that's scheduled WAY in advance.

My goals are better conditioning and technical skills- just like everyone else! I've discovered Rock House/Sweetwater and Otay Mountain have the best bang-for-the-buck-timewise, so I would love to tag-along with anyone riding there. And yes, I've got to be home by 11 am-ish...

I usually bug "mloteyro," "rmdyman," and their crew for rides and advice, so now I'll get to bug everyone else. Thanks for having me, and I hope to ride with you guys soon.
