Bicycle, down the Virginia Creeper Trail...
sound pretty innocent, but I had never had a bike growing up as a kid and had only ridden one for a grand total of 500 yards my whole life. The trip was 12 miles (fortunately downhill) and I kept crashing... worst part was it was part of a girl scout camp counselor training so everyone else was doing really great and thought I was on drugs or something. When we finished the trail, the camp director was like "Sage, what's wrong with you today?!?" and I was like "I've never ridden a bike before!"
I think her jaw hit the ground. It'd never occured to her to ask if anyone didn't know how to ride a bike.
