Common sense has always been an ally but at some point, certain automatic reflexes can cause some bad things to happen if done at inappropriate times....like stabbing the brakes.
I really want to learn what I don't know....but not sure exactly how to go about it. This is more about technique and gaining experience as there are some really great threads on what to have along in terms of preparedness. Thoughts?

One thing Ive noticed in the years Ive been wheeling is, most new wheelers (not all) prefer to go with a small group, they say its less intiminating and more personal. We always wheel in a small group, anything from senic/mild to crazy technical, IMHO its not the trail, but the people you're with that makes it fun.
