As all of you know, the people we work with, and our familes do not know what we do. They seem to think that mountain biking is a roll through the park with children laughing and everything safe and clean.
I heard a co-worker talking to someone about the biking he has been doing and they told him that they should talk to me, because I ride bikes too. Well, I took him on a ride on some local trails, nothing big, some skinnies some steeps and a couple drops, not big, 4' at the most.
He walked a lot of the stuff, but he had a big smile and said his eyes were now open to about what people actually did on mountain bikes. It is not just a ride through the park. He wants to ride more and he will tell more people of the fun to be had.
I think everyone should grab a co-worker and take them on a ride and let them experience for themselves what can't really be described.
