Do You Live in the Mountains?
In the past I have lived in the mountains (and the delta), and my home in the Bay Area now is a stone's throw away from the mountains. I have the best of both worlds, I think — the benefits of city life immediate to me, and dozens of outdoorsy activities not far from home. How about you?
Skiing Defined

Do You Have a Mountain View?

Reasons to Try Mountain Biking
Road biking was my first taste of exercising on wheels. I loved the smooth terrain, how fast I could speed along, and how much distance I could cover, which made for great sightseeing. I never gave much thought to trying mountain biking, until my hubby persuaded me to go with him.

Mountain Biking with Gary Fisher
Anyone who mountain bikes should know what a Gary Fisher bike is. I know it particularly well because my husband's Gary Fisher bike was stolen when he was in college, and he has never fully recovered from the loss.
Gary Fisher, named "The Founding Father of Mountain Bikes" by Smithsonian Magazine, will guide mountain bike enthusiasts on a 363-mile ride September 3-10, 2007 through historic villages in and around Portugal's mountains.
Tips For Beginner Mountain Biking
If you love hiking and biking, then why not combine the two? Mountain biking is really challenging, and not only does it work your thighs (it's tough going up rocky hills), but all those windy and narrow trails challenge your sense of balance and trust in yourself. Once you get the hang of it, a power inside takes over and you'll find yourself going faster and taking more risks.

I was checking out the recipes in the Kitchen Goddess group, when I saw this one from TeamSugar member ashleyk4214. Her recipe is for a simple dessert, but unique dessert. Not any old apple dumplings, these ones are made with Mountain Dew!
Fittingly Mad: Share the Mountain
I have written here before urging and maybe complaining about the need for both cyclists and drivers to share the road, since I have been on both sides of the situation.
