Growing old and mountain biking. Must ring a bell with a few around here, myself included (43) 🙂

I have to admit, begrudgingly, that the old body is aching a bit more these days and a little slower to get going, but go it will!

Thanks for sharing.
I'll have been doing this mountain biking stuff 30 years in September! (tomorrow! 😀 )

Old body, young mind...

43 isn't old not least as because if it is what's 53

Interesting that they are precise and smooth but really not that quick.

Age is not a restriction. Your mental state may be, but not age. 😀
(I got even further away from 50 last week)

We'll I'd settle for riding as well as that. Don't you think you (we) are too used to seeing pro level riders making commercial edits ?

Age is limiting. I am getting very slightly slower each year and it takes it toll a little bit more at the same time.

A quote from Joe Friel: "You're only old when you use age as an excuse"
