If I don't go outside I'm miserable and the people around me are miserable.
Getting outside is vital to my wellbeing and my mental health I love mountain biking because I love being outside and it's such a great avenue to get outside.
I first started mountain biking when I was 14 years old.
That's when I first got my first mountain bike and I did a fair amount of racing in my teens and helped out with volunteer trail nights in central Minnesota.
In our local trail system.
So it was a natural draw to get out, get outside and in Duluth and build mountain bike trails.
For me, it fills all of my needs of Phil's relaxation climbing up to the top of the hill and taking a break and taking in the surroundings or the excitement and the adrenaline of a gravity run overhead If you're looking to get into mountain biking, there is a cost barrier in the initial stages, but you can get into an entry level bike at Affordable Price if you know, you may have to save for a little bit.
And the best thing to do is to go to one of our local bike shops and ask them, and they'll help guide you through the whole process.
