We've already asked you whether you see mountain biking as a hobby or a lifestyle, but how often can you find or make time to get out? Is once a month all that is possible, or are you lucky and can hit the trails most days?
How long do you like to get out there for? Or maybe more accurately, how much riding can you find time for? We'd all love to spend our days doing epic rides, but jobs, families and other commitments usually mean being a little more sensible.
Select as many of the words below as you feel are appropriate to what you enjoy riding regularly. Don't worry about whether they make sense together or not - it's never easy to put your trails into words.

otherwise I would bike to work boo I don't drink at all so my cardio is not to bad.
@focofox37 thanks for that info I will be definitely using it on my friend he likes a drink and wonders why his cardio is pant hahah
riding 1000 km a month to work and back on my road bike
does not leave much time / energy for mountain biking
lucky if I get out for 1-2 hours on my day off, if I can be bothered
@premiumcuts - hecks yeah! I bought my Enduro second-hand, I'm amazed at how versatile it really is.
@OzMike The flag says Australia, but as long as you got a little Irish in you, you'll do just fine. Personally I'm half French so drinking like that will go fine... until I get caught making out with someones girlfriend.
One thing I will say, however, is that a degree in English literature, medieval history or philosophy is just wasting precious money. Go get a goddamn library card and learn it yourself, not by paying for. $40, $50, or $60k 'education' about how to be a good little consumer.
To all of the kids out there: you create your future. So create wisely and according to your own instincts. Provide an invaluable skill -- everyone needs something. Find out what it is and sell it to them.
Didn't think so.
So while school is good, look at ALL your options and don't let anyone tell you or make you feel like that's the "right" route to go, because then you will be where I am. Basically do what makes YOU happy and not other people.
Polished or technical trail?
And as I live 100 km east of Cologne in a low mountain range we have almost uk weather- wet and cold, but a good cranking up a short climb gets you warm
is there no way that you could mix up your commute where you live? I live in a city but have several different routes to and from work via parks, steps, slopes and bits of trails. its never the quickest way to get to and from work but I find that adding extra 15-30 minutes to my commute in the morning to enjoy my ride sets my day up just right.
don't discount those commute miles either my friend, for me 7 - 10 miles each way 5 days a week... another 3000+ miles a year before the weekend action begins.
I've just got myself a v10 as downhill/freeride is where my heart is but not my skill level , seemed to have lost my nerve since using my head as a brake last time lol !!
My mrs just got me a real nice xc for my big 40th next week so I'll try and fit a ride in as much as possible , also my 2yr old boy is just starting out so as soon as his stabilizers come off I'll get him a real bike and he can get out with me ,
Shame we don't live in whistler !!
