Like so many activities there's a kinda
weird "risk-reward" thing going on.

Which is why I stopped rock climbing...there was an accident, by
rights I should have fallen about 60 feet to a boulder field. We
were INSTRUCTORS, for chrissake. Anything can happen, and the fun
of rock climbing isn't worth the dice roll for em anymore.

My "reward" is the
fun of still being allowed to ride (at all), and all the associated
benefits of healthy activity in the out of doors. I just keep
telling myself...

"Self! Remember, it's not about how you ride compared to so and
so... it's about how you ride for yourself that really counts."

Exactly. You're hvaing your own fun, you're outside, and no matter
what every-other-page in mtb magazines (and every-other-voice on
this group) tells you, you don't need mad technical skills or a
$4000 bike to dig a ride - or be a mountain biker.

Right on! At my age (67) I'm happy to be riding at all! Most of my
riding is on pavement, including bike paths, with a little trail
riding.


Hey don't knock it, down in South Florida that would rates as extreme
technical freeride...

Remind me to stay out of So. Florida! No cross country sking in the winter
either, I'll bet!

You'd really ride around with a day-glo picture of JD on your chest?

Some people....

Infamy is a good thing.

With the weather being so gorgeous I took in some bike shops to preview
the spring line-ups. A couple of times I got asked about the type of
riding that I do. I'm getting used to that question, but I still feel
kinda "apologetic" about my answer. "Uhm, almost completely hardpacked
singletrack, nothing technical..." (Doc's orders)

Good that you're out and kicking, though. What kind of riding do I do? Pooh
riding, of course.
