Made some good points. For me it has been a lot of pressure to ride harder and longer and have these ridiculous heart rates. I like the mentality with if it feels good let er rip and if it doesn’t take it easy and enjoy the scenery. Also about not being a all day event or everyday at that matter. Time to except the fact that I’m not keeping up with kids anymore and just stay fit and be happy I can even still do this sport. Maybe if I play it right I’ll be lucky enough to ride trails well into my senior years.
