Pedal Pains

How good pain can be. 🙂  I’m sitting here writing because it takes less muscles than anything else I can think of.  I am now in Christchurch with a nice German traveling buddy I met in Kaikoura.  Today we went mountain-biking in the Port Hills close to town.  It exceeded what my wimpy legs have called “mountain-biking” in the past.  Straight up the hill on a gravel path, stopping to suck air every 30 rotations; traveling across high Summit Road with great city and sea views; then heading down a mountain bike trail that was first called “moderate,” soon marked with sneering black diamonds.  WAY above my nerves and skills, but fun to watch the 10-year-olds go tearing by on dirtbikes.  Another reason I don’t know if I can be a mother!  :O
