Been in the club for a while now. I have gotten a tremendous amount of input from everyone, tips, knowledge, and information.
Coach Muto got me started on a lesson plan for technical riding. He gave me a bunch of pointers at JT, and told me to ride Sals everyone week. He is also a great source of positive motivation, is that your passion or obsession Rudy? 
Bernie has told me, "This is ridable, get on your bike and ride." Those words have stuck my head which has prompted me to get on my bike and attempt to ride everything I would normally have just hiked. I am now of the mind that anything is ridable if I decide that I am going to ride it.
Then there is all the people I see out on the trail all the time, Sarah and Rob, Trevor, Rudy and Abie, Bob, Doug and Lori, Bill, and Matt. People obsessed with single speeds, fixed gears, Santa Cruz, the whole gamut. That really makes it easier to get into it and stay into it!
The club introduced me to a great bike shop, Saucon Valley Bikes, who has taken care of me even though I insist on breaking things all the time.
So what does that all add up too?
Well I have been riding Sals, twice a week sometimes. I went to Jacobsburg with SVB, and hit it some myself. I hit Lehigh with James, sorry about breaking the demo Steve! At first, I would ride like hell, then come to a climb I couldn't do, or be riding the brakes and go over the handle bars on the down hills. I could hear Rudy telling me to look way out in front, and remember reading, "Look where you want to go, if you look at the rock, you'll hit it." I can also hear some anonymous voice behind me at JT yelling, "NO BRAKES!" Each ride I got a little better.
The first thing I noticed is I could climb by just putting it in granny gear and pedaling. Rudy is right, pedaling slow is better than walking! Then I started to be able to "see" what I was doing more. It wasn't that my riding was improving that much, but I was able to see what I was doing wrong. I would notice my feet were in the wrong place right BEFORE my pedal hit the rock, or as I endoed I would see my wheel hit and could see myself go over the handle bars. This was a HUGE development for me. Now instead of something just happening, things were slow enough for me to see it happen. Then I slowly was able to start to correct things.
This last ride last night at Sals is the reason I am even writing all this. All this input and time came together great! The weather was perfect, nice cool breeze, and my head was in the game. I was able to pick up speed more on the down hills just by forcing myself too look in front of me, I feel like I am trusting the bike more, very exciting. I was making all the little climbs too. I couldn't believe it, I would just pedal, look out in front of me, and push, I was making stuff that I would skid out on before, or lose momentum and stop. I made record time on the lower red from Dodson to the bottom of the switch back, and cleaned stuff like crazy. I caught myself spinning my pedals to avoid hitting my feet some, and just held my bike and went like crazy.
I came out of lower red with such a warm fuzzy feeling I couldn't help but shoot for the switch back. I had been riding up the rode until then. I had ridden the switch back once with terrible results. This time I went up it 100 times better. I still needed breaks, and to re adjust, I still did one endo too!
For a while now I have been feeling like I was right at the bottom of a steep learning curve. I knew if I pushed it some things would start to come to me, and that is really starting to happen. I can see waves of abilities, or knowledge, or skill, whatever you call it, coming to me just from riding more and more. I feel more at home on the trails, and on my bike. Each wave seems to build on the last too, making each wave bigger than the last.
Anyway, long story short, the last couple months, and weeks more so, have been just awesome. I feel like I have something to be addicted to now, and wouldn't trade my trail time for anything!
