Chris Writing Anything

If you’ve read a few of my posts, okay, maybe a handful of my blog entries, you’d know I’m an avid mountain biker. In this short post, I’ll elaborate…well, just a bit…I’ve written about mountain biking so much, I don’t know if I have anymore to document.

Although I’ve detailed much about the sport, there’s one thing I’m learning; as you get better, the more fun you’ll have. One must simply learn skills, and, after they’ve ascertained some know-how, a rider must shed their fears. When they do, one can’t imagine how fun the sport will become.

Two rides ago, as I think to over a week past, I left the woods with an unmatched high. After my ten mile trek, it actually felt too good. I had thought to myself, “This is like being on vacation.” The forest seemed better than a Six Flags, and the mental escape was incredibly surreal.

Now, I do attribute some of my emotions, and I know it’s true, to unbearable daily stress. The trails feel out of place, like a lush, fertile oasis in the midst of scorching sands. And when you leave that watering hole, and venture back into the heat, you are completely refreshed, and the burning landscape is less of a burden.

And that’s why mountain biking is my favorite hobby. There are mental and physical health benefits also. But, really, it’s just a lot of fun. So, for now, I’ll continue to ride…until my old body simply won’t work.

Have an Excellent Day!!
