Love the article, Cam. I suffer from being old and new. I started riding 5 years ago at age 48. I regretted getting into mountain biking as late as I did and often wondered what kind of rider I'd be if I started riding in my 20's... then I watched things like The Moment and I'm glad I waited until trails and bikes would afford me a recreation that wouldn't kill me.
Maybe it's the age, and not that you've aged, but I too find joy in the incremental improvements, the moments where it all comes together, and the humbling reminders usually shortly after that I have many more incremental improvements to go in my riding career.
It's nice to reflect with other riders finding joy without having to ride like I'm training for Rampage.
