I re-started riding this year and bought a hybrid. then i took it on the loac MTB trails and thought i break it. I then dug out an old cheap MTB for the trails, but it wasn't great.
In addition I searched for a winter sport and read a lot about people losing their strength over winter. We have too little snow here to make skiing worthwhile.
The solution to all my problems? A fatbike: replacement for ski in winter, replacement for my MTB
