Learn what you should look for when choosing your ultimate mountain bike. Here I compare the Canfield Lithium and the Scott Spark 910.
Why is it so hard to actually do a skill you understand? The answer is in my latest blog post. MTB Skills: How We Actually Learn
This is a great philosophy. I’m a 67 y/o physician…I’ve seen decades of suffering people…..I’m still riding a mountain bike, and fabulously grateful. That said, young people, try not to do anything stupid. (Well, not too stupid..we all do stupid stuff..just try not to get permanently disabled)
Thanks Mark! Glad to hear you are still riding!
Nice Post Gene, short and clear and oh so true. Being a 54 year old mountain biker I hear exactly what your saying and I do try to think like this but I will try harder now having read this…
Thanks
Hi Peter, you’re welcome, thanks for the compliments.
I read allot of articles on mountain biking I have been riding for many years racing too . At 60 years of age things start to look allot different . Early 50s are still really good years not that early 60s are not the overall picture changes as time goes on . After reading this article and thinking about over the weekend I thought to myself this may have been the best article I have ever read about mountain biking . This applies to all areas of life as well for me . Thanks so much for the reminder Gene !
Wow, thanks Mark! You’re welcome for the reminder.
Love this post, Gene. You’re an awesome coach. Thank you!
Glad you liked it Patty!
I think you took those words right out of my mouth. At 63 I live to ride. Two years ago I rode my first race, on the Mendocino coast. I missed it last year because I shattered my heal bone but I am back at it and almost ready for the race at the end of August. I don’t expect to win I just want to finish. Love to ride!!
Hi Cliff,
Great to hear! Love your attitude, enjoy all your rides and that race!
Cheers,
Gene
