Every new year offers a fresh opportunity to delve deeper into the sport of mountain biking. With so many ways to progress and rabbit holes to explore, it can be hard to choose just one MTB goal! So go ahead, check all the boxes if you’re feeling ambitious in 2022.
Become cancer free so my one speed automatic can have some great singletrack rides again!
I still ride as much as I can however, chemo is limiting the days that I can get out. The Middlechild is far better therapy and support than any other source could ever be.
Couldn’t care less about strava, I ride for the pleasure of playtime, trialsin and good times. And people are paranoid of covid, pfft! Cancer is homicidal however, I’ma kick it to the curb!
When I can, there is plenty of trail maintenance days available through local user groups and not limited to bicycles. The local snowmobile club does a boatload of trail work. I also volunteered to groom trails for more than 20 years. If only fatbikes were a thing back then!
Spreading myself throughout the user groups tends to be something called “Stewardship” that opens the minds of other user groups to what each are all about, proving beyond a reasonable doubt that we can coexist quite handsomely. More folks outghtta try it, I suppose. Better experiences result from quelling the stereotypes on all sides.
Not Just Build more, but repair more and be a better ambassador for MTB with other user groups.
One of my goals is to help some eager but inexperienced family members to progress their skills and ride more
Other: I checked “Support my local club” but there isn’t a near-by “local club.” In 2021 I joined MORE and became one of two trail liaisons for a local county park. We host group rides. In addition I have 3 other “groups”: one from my church, a MICL/NICA team, and a group of inner-city kids that I ride with. For 2022, I am going to try to get our liaison-hosted riders to be more organized and perhaps become a local group.
That’s in addition to just staying on the bike and improving the best I can. At 68, I find that “improving” means losing less and trying to keep as close to last year as I can! 🙂
No goals. I just like riding bikes on dirt. Ok, my only goal is more trails so there are more places to ride bikes on dirt.
Try not to break anything on me or my bike.
Get back to riding and then may be take classes in summer. I had tibia platuqe fracture hear and couldn’t ride at all.
