Can the DZ Nuts stuff become addictive? It smells wonderfull, they should make cologne. Come to think of it, I could just wear cycling shorts everyday - I'm a stay at home dad, so no dress code. Bonus!! Good luck all.... If I eat/drink everything in the 100 MON pack I may get up to 75 miles – or fall over as I become a twitching mess!

Unless they ask for the hard stuff, they will be ok with scenery, comradery and a good post ride beer and/or swimming hole, yet light on the adrenaline. I tend to take people on trails that are too hard... I liked the video - I used to be able to go from work to a great trail in 26 seconds, that was good! Then the company moved, now I go from work to a lame trail in 15 seconds... Usually any trail that doesn’t send your guest to the hospital is going to be ok.

Choosing the perfect trail for the new girlfriend's first mountain bike ride. The first thought is how much do you want her to like it? If there is a future with this girl, what if she is really slow and wants to tag along on all your rides? Even worse, what if she is good and gets to be faster than you...

There's another reason to avoid mountain biking. It would do my head in to have to make those kinds of decisions on behalf of "new friends". Therein lies the beauty of the velodrome. With a deft sweep of the arm you can completely introduce and describe the entire course. Although, for many, it still takes months or years to prefect all the curves, straights, climbs and descents. And I can descend at 40mph without the anguish of hitting a tree root mid corner. See! There’s another reason to avoid mountain biking.
