One of my favorite hobbies is mountain biking. Luckily, mountain biking happens to be a great workout. My 2010 New Year's resolution was to start having fun while exercising so on a whim I picked mountain biking. It seemed like a great activity that DH and I could do together. We love spending time outdoors exploring the hill country parks and we already own a tandem kayak. Mountain biking is perfect for us, especially since we can match the intensity of our ride to our fitness level.
During the week DH and I ride the easy neighborhood trails that range from two to five miles. On the weekends we pack up the bikes and head out to the hill country to hit the seven to fifteen mile intermediate level trails. My little iPod nano is my savior on those longer treks. I've been tweaking my playlist for about a year. It's hip-hop heavy. Eventually I'd like to be able to push through 25 mile rides so I'm constantly on the look out for new songs.
