“One of the best things about mountain biking is that the sport is what you make it. It’s as tough, tiring, fun, sociable or lonesome as you make it. You can push yourself to the limits of physical and mental endurance one day, and go for an easy ride ending at a pub the next. I’ve met some of my best friends through riding bikes, but occasionally love the solitude of riding alone. It’s also a far better way to keep fit than by going to the gym!” Sara Burdon, flowmtb
