You should make a blog about it and get Tyler to post it on the main page. Sounds like a fun time!

wow this looks amazing - are there enough lady freeriders in the uk for this event? most races only have a handful of girls - it would be amazing to get up there and meet other girls that ride i'll have to see if i can make it (bit of a long drive)

I have only started riding in the past month.

Don't know if I will be good enough by then.

When do we have to sign up by?

As great as it is to have a girlfriend/wife that mountain bikes, not all women are cut out for the sport. Sounds like she lack confidence on the bike. It might just be a matter of needing more time and practice. Does she seem like she really enjoys it or is she just doing it to make you happy? Perhaps you can see if there is a ladies biking club or weekend clinic? That might help encourage her as well. If you find that she really doesn't enjoy it, then you shouldn't push her to ride. Maybe help her find something else that is active that you can both do together.

Good luck!

she says she likes it and she does go on the odd solo ride when im at work,,although likely just through town its better then nothing in my mind,,thank you for your input,i think it has something todo with her confidence,i try to encourage her and always tell her how well she is doing.i dont expect her to ride like me although i know ladies that would whip me,ill take my time and keep trying to boost her confidence,thanx again
