I've officially ridden bikes my entire life nearly, so 50+ years, but only got into actual MTB 2004, so just over 20 years ago, but I did have several "fat tyre" rigid, don't know what you'd call them, Raleigh Grifter and another smaller before that that I rode any and everywhere.
Would love to say that I'm still so damn in love with MTB, but that hasn't been the case for the last 5 or so years. There are several contributing factors, biggest of which I guess is living on a tiny island, so riding the same trails, year after year has finally worn on me I guess, bored if you will, but then there's also how thing shave been since my knee accident and covid and work and me being one of this very think, high metabolism type people, so have had to literally watch how much I do so as to not burn more calories than I can afford to, BUT, hoping to change that for 2025 and rekindle the passion.
