Why I Still Mountain Bike at My Age

Join me on an exhilarating mountain bike ride through the stunning autumn larches of Kimberley, British Columbia! In this video, I share my personal journey back to mountain biking after a 29-year hiatus. Discover the beautiful 'Hurt So Good' trail near the Kimberley Nordic Center, famous for its golden larch trees in the fall. From my early days of mountain biking in my 20s, to a period of road biking, and now embracing the trails again at 56, I talk about the challenges and joys of getting back into the sport. Learn why I chose an analog mountain bike (Specialized Epic Evo Comp) over an e-bike, and my thoughts on optimizing components for the best experience. This isn't just about riding; it's about reconnecting with nature, shedding pounds, and finding mental clarity. If you're looking for an activity that offers physical and mental benefits, mountain biking might be for you, even if you live in the city. Come explore the wilderness with me and see why I have no regrets about taking this path less traveled. Remember, it's never too late to try something new! #MountainBiking #KimberleyBC #FallRiding #LarchTrees #BeginnerMountainBiking #OutdoorAdventure #MountainBikeJourney #SpecializedEpicEvo #NatureHealing #MountainBikeLife
