As we got closer, we could see that one was a studly twenty-something guy, with a pair of gorgeously fit young girls in halter tops. It was obvious they were having trouble getting down these slick steep slopes, and wanted to see how someone else handled it. My inclination would have been to stop alongside them and wait for someone who really knew how. But knowing they'd expect that kind of caution from a bunch of old farts like us, my stronger instinct was to show them that we could do it. And sometimes, you've just got to do something your age group can do.
Bikes are a good balance.
