No sense of fear or any notion of boundaries of physics... unreal watching this kind of stuff.

Invincible rubbery groms are fun to ride with.  This kid ^^ is a charger.  Reminds me of my nephew.

^^ enjoy the flight and whatever you do, don't give in to age,,,

variability is key.  I like your mix.

I intersperse gravel, road, mtb and moto with varying intensities, terrain and durations. 

mixed with a lot of manual labor at home and a 2-a-day walk regime, it works pretty good for keeping the old guy alive. 

and plan is to get back into pushing moderate weights once the covid story in Dumbmerica  settles down... fookin Dumbmerica smh

Big picture is big.... still breathing, still riding, Hollywood WA. You?

Couple days post covid jab #2, somehow convinced myself that I wasn't feeling like shite and that climbing a rock chunder road up 2200ft in 3 miles on a pinner gravel bike into the snow with relatively bald tires was a good idea.  Yep, I've made better decisions...  but at least old guy is still moving.  Gold Bar WA, not a lot unlike S2S territory, just more guns and Trump signs

Haha, I don't even know what hurts anymore tbh. But those ribs, damn, they take the cake for pain and being debilitative. Those mtb's are dangerous contraptions, or at least that's what people have been trying to tell me for 39yrs   :-P

Primo 90+km slab of land ride before work starting in darkness suffering from unseasonable cold conditions, a headlight that goes p00f and finishing up in warm n sunny bluebird with perhaps even getting a bit of sunburn and the kicker... a plateful of breakfast hot off the stove a couple minutes after arrival.  It doesn't get much better than that... at least for me

Picture the very first ride or two down the Dustbin. I have that movie and many more on the shelf :D

Trust me, from a guy who has sampled that trail at every stage of its existence, it's changed quite a lot.

Probably something like this

Think moss carpet rideable in both directions if you had the legs/inclination, minus the rocky chunder in fine stretchy pants tube socks feathered hair style... eye bleach JFC

Strong opinions are curiously strong...  I liked CBC before it was ever known as CBC, before it was exposed in a bike Mag article. I still ride, hope the cast of characters from this thread's era do too LOL
