Welcome! Never too old to ride and to mtb! I'm 55 and have been riding since I was a kid(bmx). Still riding up in the hills and shredding when I can!

Welcome. Glad you’re enjoying mtb riding. Age is just a number.

I'm a 60+ newbie, and that number has been difficult mentally for me.
Getting more fit on bikes has been helpful. I do see plenty of older retiree bikers in my area, most are better riders than I.

Welcome!

I'm sure you know, but taking a class or two for introductions can help a lot. I did that last year and was very happy about it. Never too late for MTBing!
