Mountain biking--is fun

I've heard  from numeous  family members, ward members and friends..................that mountain biking is fun!  
 until Fri  I have to admit I didn't get it.  That is until I tried it first hand   Hayley took dad and I above the zoo (part of Bonneville shoreline bike trail) ...and we had her teach me
(dad already knew) the in's and out's of riding a mountain bike on a mountain bike trail.
things   such as changing gears  and holding your feet even so that you can work your way   down a steep slope--I liked it when I got  the hang of it.  it was rejuvinating!!!
