Why I ride!

"Mountain biking isn't just a hobby for me; it's a passion that fuels my soul. It's a love affair with the trails, the challenges, and the sheer joy of being outdoors. Several things draw me to this sport, from the intense physical workout to the much-needed mental escape and the constant sense of exploration.
Physically, mountain biking is a full-body workout disguised as fun. From powering up steep climbs, engaging every muscle in my legs, to navigating tricky descents, requiring core strength and balance, it pushes me to my limits. The burn in my legs, the pumping of my heart, the feeling of exertion – it's all part of the experience. It's a demanding sport, but the rewards are immense. I feel stronger, fitter, and more connected to my body with every ride.
Beyond the physical benefits, mountain biking offers an unparalleled mental escape. When I'm on the trail, the world melts away. The only thing that matters is the next turn, the line I'm choosing, the rhythm of my breath. It's a form of moving meditation, a chance to quiet the mind and find a sense of peace amidst the chaos of everyday life. The focus required to navigate the terrain forces me to be present in the moment, leaving no room for worries or distractions.
Finally, mountain biking satisfies my innate sense of adventure and exploration. Each trail is a new discovery, a chance to explore hidden corners of the countryside and witness breathtaking views. I love the feeling of venturing into the unknown, of pushing myself beyond my comfort zone, and of conquering challenges that once seemed impossible. Whether it's discovering a hidden waterfall, spotting a rare bird, or simply enjoying the serenity of a quiet forest, mountain biking allows me to connect with the outdoors on a deeper level and experience the thrill of exploration. It's a constant reminder of the beauty and wonder that surrounds us, waiting to be discovered. For me, mountain biking is more than just a sport; it's a way of life, a source of joy, and a constant reminder of the incredible power of the outdoors."

Professionally, it enables me to work with my one to one Think Differently coaching clients on whole different level with greater impact and results. 
​

Remember, the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
So, what are you waiting for?

Let's hit the trails together and enjoy the ride!

It really is time to Think Differently about where you want to go with your health and fitness........
On your side,
