A wicked new mountain bike path begging for tire tracks, alone time with your in-laws, the grocery store before the big football weekend: we want to hear about it. What was the last thing YOU shralped?

Working Out
My 23 year old son was hit by a car and suffered a severe brain injury. I have schralped 7 weeks in ICU & watching him struggle for his life & brain until now. He was a runner, following in mama’s footsteps, so in his honor & to help clear out my over-stressed brain, I schralped Run2thetop on Labor Day. It’s a 7 mile, 4000′ elevation gain ascent of Mt. Baldy in California. It was a piece of cake compared to the life-schralping with my son. 🙂
That’s incredible terrain you’ve navigated, terrain no one ever expects to have to tackle nonetheless. I am sure after that sort of schralping, Mt. Baldy felt like a skip through the park. To put it lightly, good on you! –Christina@T9
I’ve been Riding the amazing Mt.biking trails at Kingdom Trails in East Burke, Vermont. Over 100 miles of trails!!! I can’t explain the incredible rush of fast technical downhills!!!!
My favorite season for shralping is just around the corner. I can’t wait! I climb the local mountain (a 2-mile fall-line trail up a very steep 3,000 ft) carrying my rain pants and two pieces of insulite pad. When I reach the top, I don the pants, stuff the insulite pieces in to protect my bottom from cold and bruising, and slide like mad down the mountain. I’m not the only butt-slider on the mountain, but probably one of the most dedicated. Come on, snow! (Do rain pants and padding count as a “vehicle?”)
Salmon Series, Race 8 on Tsalteshi Trails (Alaska!), which incorporated some wicked down hill single track as well as the usual trails. I got a little overconfident in my ability to go downhill on single track at a high rate of speed and ended up with a nasty bruise on my knee. Tsalteshi is still heart of my daily ride–but without the single track.
Trying to schralp a career change right now. I keep reminding myself of two important techniques for navigating tricky terrain: 1) Don’t just look right in front of your wheel; look farther down the road. 2) Focus on where you DO want to go, not on the scary drop-offs. These tips work well on a bicycle, and in all kinds of other situations, too.
Celebrating the 3 year anniversary of my TKR( total knee replacement) with an hour workout at the gym- followed by an hour and a half yoga class. A big hurrah for months and months of hard work getting my leg strong. Watch out Loon Mountain!- plan on skiing first sign of snow!
My husband and I have a dream of living in the Northwoods of Wisconsin. We sold our home in Illinois and moved up to a family summer home. Our rough terrain has been finding a house on a lake with high speed internet so we can both work from our dream home. Never thought we would hit such a rough road. The good news is that yesterday we may have found it! Might be a dream come true.
We leave in Rhinelader, love it! Welcome to N. WI!
Meant live!
5 weeks ago I shattered my ankle in a Mt. Bike crash. Took 2 hours to get me out of the woods, emergency surgery and 10 weeks on crutches, but I can’t wait to ride again! Maybe not clipped in right away.
Friends, family and cute Title Nine skirts are getting me through the long recovery.
Yowza, that’s quite the adventure, but you certainly sound like it hasn’t phased your sense of adventure. Hope the recovery goes by without a hitch! –Christina@T9
I was getting in some hill practice last weekend to train for a fundraiser ride later this month. I was on my mountain bike (a Terry by the way!), lost control, and went flying into the dirt. Major road rash all along my left side, and bruised ribs. Is 55 too old to be doing this? 🙂
Is there really such a thing as “too old to be doing this” when it comes to having an amazing time outdoors? We don’t think so either. –Christina@T9
I’m 56. Two weeks ago while doing a 23 mile fund raiser bike ride, I struck an obstacle in the road and my bike and I went flying. I’m still mending several bruised/broken ribs and can’t wait to get back out there! I don’t think I will ever stop.
I rode 150 miles on gravel roads in one day in a bike race called “Gravel Worlds” in Nebraska on August 24th in 96 degree weather with a 35mph south wind. It took me 17 hours to finish but I did! Out of 200 riders, more than 80 dropped out of this self supported event. Best part, both ladies riding fat bikes finished! The only category that had 100% finishers! Girl Power!
Way to finish! Hope you’ve recovered nicely since then. That’s a lot of pedal power expelled. –Christina@T9
