If I could ride the road bike consistently and drop some weight I'd be in a better position to hop on the mountain bike and feel like a kid again. But given the shape I'm in, the mountain bike will just make me feel even older.
I've been riding my Specialized Hard Rock for 20+ years and really enjoy getting out as the sun rises. I'm 67-1/2 and my suggestion is to just keep riding, watch your diet and one day you'll get both the urge and the confidence to take on those trails. Trust me, lifestyle changing really works! And you are only as old as you allow yourself to feel.

Cheers....
