It’s been a few years since I’ve ridden MTB, but it felt great to be back on the fat tyres instead of the skinny road tyres. 🚵‍♂️

I won’t be rushing to swap the road bike for the mountain bike though… yesterday was an absolute beast! 🤢😂

The roots, the climbs (some of which I proudly walked 🤣), the technical sections, and the constant effort were a reminder that MTB fitness is a completely different kind of fitness.

It was tough, but the downhill sections made every climb worthwhile. They reminded me why getting out on the trails is so addictive. Great to get back out in the woods, get dusty, and enjoy the trails again. 👊🌲🚵‍♂️

Thank you Rob @ryimagesphotos for the images. 👊
