I’ll admit that my opinion may be sem-biased, as Kathe is my mom. However, I’ll also admit that back in High School I thought I knew everything I needed to know about riding. Once Kathe started giving me pointers I realized how wrong I was. Nowadays I don’t get to ride, but once every few years.
The last time I went riding was the day after Thanksgiving 2009. It had been about 5 or 6 years since my previous ride, so I definitely needed a refresher course (which Mom insisted on). She gave me a quick refresher course and also worked with me throughout the 3 hour trail ride we took. I was actually worried that the assistance was going to ruin my enjoyment of the ride, but safety is more important so I went along with it. As it turned out, I enjoyed the entire ride and learned some new things on top of the quick refresher course. I’m thankful and lucky to have a mother that can give me this guidance. I love riding, and will definitely have to start riding much more often. Thanks mom.
