My MTB riding to date has been a sort of ‘Slow burn’. Started just under 10 years ago, and every year I have ridden progressively more, and I can honestly say I’ve never had a time when I’ve not wanted to ride.
I’ve had many times where I’ve questioned my ability, and even more times when I’ve questioned my fitness, but never have I lost my motivation to ride trails.
I’m 36 now, and the amount of guys who I ride with who are in there 50’s, coupled with some people on the likes of here and other forums who are still doing proper riding even older than that, I know I’ll be riding for decades to come.
People at both ends of the spectrum, like Jedi, and the old guy I see out on our local trails minceing around, inspire me no ends.
Good times…
