Day 171 - "You look like a 12 year old on that thing"

I started today's mountain bike ride with the Ripper road group. Someone said to me, "You look like a 12 year old on that thing!" To which I replied, "That's the point. I do this so I can feel like a 12 year old".

And that is the difference between road riding - "I am no longer a 12 year old" and mountain biking "I enjoy recapturing what it is like to be a 12 year old". And why I do very little road riding and lots of mountain biking nowadays.

Since I was schedule constrained today, I ended up riding lots of different single track sections in the Fells. There were a few opportunities to take some nice photos as well.
