Letting go of the week and meeting some great mates with a similar passion, I was never one for footy or field sports etc but have been mad on 2 wheels since I can remember, it's ingrained into me, part of me and I could never go without it. A lad I know has recently got into it and he can't believe he spent the best part of 30 yrs playing footy instead of riding - he rides around 4 times a week now!!

Try riding while on drugs, now that's fun... Or so I'm told.
i will sometimes stray off the path and have a smoke with my buddy.. its awesome, gives you something to do when your taking a break, and makes single track riding even better.
go ahead and tell me im stupid.. for me, they just kinda go hand in hand.
as for why i ride? i couldnt tell you. other than the fact i love to be outside and i love the nature vibe out on the trails.. and im sure as hell not going to walk everywhere (hiking), so riding just kinda makes sense.
