Mountain biking has become my exercise sanctuary - the one physical activity I genuinely enjoy even when it's challenging, from early morning trail rides to the satisfaction of finding something that gets your heart pumping without feeling like a chore.
• Early morning rides take about 15-18 minutes to climb and 3-4 minutes to descend
• Everyone needs to find their exercise passion - something that's enjoyable even when difficult
• Started mountain biking on a basic Scott hardtail with rim brakes in the late 90s
• Technology has dramatically improved mountain bikes but simplicity still has value
• Lower back issues make washing dishes more painful than mountain biking
• Smart helmets that alert emergency contacts after crashes are useful technology
• Following the KISS principle (Keep It Simple Stupid) for most biking equipment
• Gen X perspectives on helmets, safety, and changing attitudes toward protection
Again, thanks for hanging out with me!
