    Do you consider yourself a confident cyclist?

    I would say I'm pretty good for a roadie, but pretty low tier compared to MTBers. I really struggle with downhill, off-camber, right hand switchbacks. I know it's specific, but it's probably my biggest weakness on the bike in terms of technique

    Is Southern Illinois missing out on organized rides?

    That fear only goes away with practice. Just working with a group of people you are familiar with is the best way to get over that fear.

    Mountain Biking in the Summer

    Well the knee jerk reaction was a copperhead, but tbh I don't 100% know. We were doing over 20 mph past it and it was golden/copper in color. I wasn't about to stop and find out.

    Do you use a chamois lubricant?

    I've only used it once. While bike packing on day 3, i really felt the need for some anti-chafe. Regularly I don't though, not really a fan of the feeling.
