If there is one thing I know how to do well, that would be mountain biking. After all I have been riding a bike for a couple decades.
I gave it a shot today and mounted one of these familiar contraptions and made my way around the obstacle course. I made my way through all the teeter toter looking obstacles and rocks they have strategically place on the course. Now the course is not long at all. But, after one pass around I was huffing and puffing. I am not that out of shape, but the simple little course took a lot out of me.
The second go around, because I was winded, was a tad bit more difficult. It’s hard to keep pedaling to make it over a teeter toter when all you want to do is coast. The key to getting over the obstacles is keep pedaling.
My favorite part about biking is the coasting. I like gravity to do its thing. I didn’t find that today. You definitely aren’t going to find coasting in a hard-core mountain bikers vocabulary.
