I think most everyone rides for fun. I think the difference is that what is “fun” for one individual may be different than what is fun for someone else. Some have fun just being out with nature and covering a bit more ground than can be done on foot. Some enjoy the social aspects of riding just being out with family or friends that ride. Some ride for general health or fitness reasons. Some ride because they love challenging themselves on more technical terrain. Some ride competitively because that’s what drives them. It’s all good!! I ride for all of the above reasons. But I have the most fun when I am pushing myself to do things I’ve never done before. Cleaning a rock garden, jumping that double, bunny hopping a newly fallen tree I’m not sure I can clear, cleaning a steep climb, landing that drop, getting more air time on a trail feature, and yes, even Strava PR’s (you know it doesn’t get easier as you get older. Lol) In the winter, I’ll break out the fatbike and ride in the snow. And I will even race once or twice a year for fun, fitness and competition. Have fun riding in whatever way gives you the most gratification!
