I definitely resemble that remark.......LOL. Seriously, though, I've been mountain biking on and off since the mid '80s, and while I've taken my fair share of spills over the years, at 67 I'm much more cautious on the trails that are available to us today. One bad fall and I could be out of the ball game for quite some time, but still, I haven't lost any pride whatsoever by regularly riding the green and blue trails these days. For the most part they're pretty easy and harmless, but they often times offer some great uphill climbing as well as providing a good cardio workout as well! My wife and I even started fat biking this past winter, and we've had loads of fun doing it! It's all good!
