Freedom
I think it’s the freedom a trail bike gives you. I have ridden so little DH this year. All the maintenance and shuttling wore on me and I’ve been happy to just throw a leg over my trail bike and just go mountain biking again. I hate to admit it but I just did a 6 mile ride at Norris. While it was embarrassingly short it was still a solid hour on my bike. It would take all day to get that on my DH bike. However I have been feeling an urge to ride my DH bike again. Anyway, after yet another rain storm this morning and all day with the family, I was very happy to spin the legs. Even it was just for an hour.
