Angie,

 

If riding correctly means not hurting one's knees, then I have been doing something  very wrong for 11,000 miles !!!!!!  Because  my knees still hurt.   My child says that I flop all over the place.  Oh well, there are always lessons to be taken.  :))   And as far as argueing(sp).... my daddy always told me... I would argue with a fence post.... and so will Joni. and My MOTHER.

 

Jody ,Joni 

and the girls....who just went to Summer Breeze and melted their butts off.
