This past weekend Rob and I went up to Conifer to help my dad with some prep for riding in Moab next weekend, wash the car, hang out with my mom for mothers day, etc. In the afternoon, after washing and vacuuming the cars, Rob asked Jamie and I if we wanted to ride the 80. I'm not sure if he was entirely serious, but after we said yes he got it out for us. I was sure I knew what I was doing, but after almost taking out the side wall of the shop on my first run, Rob decided we needed some lessons. The first few runs were a little rough for me. After my scrape with death I think I was kind of nervous, but I got it...
Jamie is a total natural. She did almost ride off an extremely steep hill her first time, but right after that she put it all together and got it down. I think her second run she was asking how to shift to second... and third... pretty much how to go faster.
I got it! Finally! Rob was really patient, and as always, a great teacher... I was thrilled to get all that coordination down... I've done it before but it's been way too long!
I think Rob was getting bored watching us putt down the back hill in first gear so he jumped on the bike and showed us his sweet moves... you got to love this guy!
We even got my mom out for a few runs... she's done the motorcycle thing a few times so she picked it up with no problem, and had a lot of fun doing it!
After the mini lesson in the back we headed down the long twisty driveway where we actually got to speed up a little and have a little more fun! Rob only ran down and back up the driveway once before he got out another motorcycle... its pretty long and steep! Jamie was excited for him to get out on a motorcycle so she could have someone to race... I think she's the speedy one of the three of us newbies...
I was just happy to get on a bike again... after all its a major part of life for both sides of our family so I really should get a little better at it... and yes! I can understand why these guys just can't give them up, they are fun!

Rob you could have at least photoshopped yourself catching some air with that sweet move.
