Challenge accepted, Cam. I will commit to the pushups and planks every other day for the coming year, and maybe some squats and something else on the other days. We are pretty much the same age; I turn 59 in a few days. I'd like to ride more this coming year, and riding better, would be an additional bonus. Most of 'riding more' is really on me to just make it happen. I did start watching MTB skills videos a few years ago, as instruction was incredibly absent in those early MTB years 3 decades back. Perhaps I will find some in-person instruction as well in the coming year. All the best to you and the entire NSMB crew in 2025. This site continues to be a very refreshing outlet in the current cycling media climate. Thanks to you all for that! Cheers!
