At 43 with one child and an understanding missus I’ve ridden more this year than ever, or at least more variation.
PMBA Enduro yesterday and a Lakes trip booked in for November.
Apart from snowboarding, which other sport allows you to push the limits of traction and mostly just punish yourself with cuts and bruises? Where every penny spent rewards you with fitness and smiles? Where everybody you meet is friendly and happy to swap stories & trails?
This year, as usual, I’ve been given loads of really good route advice from the good burghers of STW inc Ton,chased 5 very fast locals down MT Semnoz and been shown Haldons best bits by NukeproofNik of TQ3riders, all because we love to show people the best bits (unless you live in Hebden Bridge & I’ve got my own insider for that).
Bring on the mud, yesterday’s Enduro showed up my lack of slippery skillz 🙂
