I may be in serious danger of becoming an adrenaline junkie. I love the feeling of the wind rushing around my ears, my jaw being rattled like a jar of marbles as my bike screams down the mountain trail. Mountain biking is awesome.
Miranda and I went with the Outdoor Enthusiasts small group, from my church, on a mountain biking trip on Moscow Mountain. We weren't racing down any steep embankments are anything, but we had our fair share of adventurous ups and downs. It was also really great to once again enjoy the great outdoors.
My goal for the summer is to be outside as much as possible. Being without a car makes that a lot easier as I walk everywhere. But, besides that, now that I am graduated and my focus has changed, I want to start doing some new things. Outdoor sports have always been an interest of mine (ever since the Frenchs took me on my first hike with them at 7 years old), but I never got much opportunity to endulge it. Well, the time may have come. Or at least the beginning of a desire.
Wish me luck and hopefully I'll come out in one piece.

Mountain biking... *sigh* that sounds awesome. I'm so indescribably jealous. And Moscow Mountain is a gorgeous place; kinda amazing that there is something like that so close to Pullman.
So, now that you've tried mountain biking this summer, are you going to do any BMX? ;-)
BMX? Are you crazy? That takes, like...skill 'un stuff. I can handle hurtling myself down an incline, but I don't think I'm quite ready for anything quite so technical.;)
