 beginner looking for riding partner in san diego
Hey, I'd really like to get into mountain biking but basically I have no idea what I'm doing. I'm out of shape and have been riding my crappy little bike around in Paradise Hills where I live trying to get my legs and lungs used to the work out. However, I'm having trouble keeping myself disciplined enough to do it as often as I should be, so I'm looking for someone to ride with, either another beginner or someone more advanced that doesn't mind putting up with the ridiculous amount of times I need to stop going uphill and whatnot. I expect to get in shape pretty quickly (I'm not fat. I just have absolutely no muscle), and I think having someone to keep me company and yell at me when I'm being lazy would help a lot. My bike sucks (it doesn't even have shocks!), but I don't want to invest in something nicer until I know enough to know what's right for me (not to mention I'm broke). So it would be nice if there was someone around to teach me a bit too. I'm a pretty mechanical person, so I just need to someone to get me started a bit on what is and is not good to look for in a bike and I can run with it from there. Eventually, once I'm in shape, I'd like to start hitting some trails and hopefully have someone with me to show me how to go about it. Anyone up for the challenge?

    Do yourself a favor, post this on MTBR.com Either under "socal" section or "Womens Lounge" section.

    Only responses you will get here are from guys wondering if you are "hot" or not.

    Well......are you?

      lol.. ; )


      Shasha, REEL is right. Most of the people that troll these boards recently are just that. Trolls. San Diego is a great place to ride. You'll find some great trails besides the ones you've already been checking out. I'd say ( as Mr. Money did) repost on MTBR.com...there are plenty of good people that ride in San Diego that would be glad to help you and show you the ropes.

      Good luck. :)

      Heh, I found my way to MTBR shortly after I posted this. This board looks pretty dead.

      And of course I'm totally hot. The question is, are you?

            This is the most action this board has seen is 17 months.

            However I am skeptical of any woman who says "dude". You need to post a pic, so we know in fact that you are not a "dude".

              I am skeptical that you live in California if you think chicks don't "dude."

                  Good man. You did your research! I was wondering who would be smart enough to read my info, find my blog, and figure out I'm actually a real person and not some lame troll.

                  And thanks dude! I don't know how interesting my blog could be to someone who doesn't know me but it's nice to hear a compliment about it from a complete stranger.

                  Now I just have to get my lazy ass on my bike more often so I deserve to be here :P
