Fitness and training legend Steve Peligrou once said "you can't fire a cannon from a canoe". I heard that on the amazing 'Matt McDuff Show', a great podcast with some seriously inspiring guests. I suppose meaning being fit for purpose, really resonated with my current focus of writing a book about Mountain Biking and Well Being called 'The Trail Head Project'.
I want to be a 'Cannon', I want to be stronger and fitter, mentally resilient, and I really feel I can achieve this. When I ride, I love it which is the perfect place to begin any journey. Riding has taken over surfing by far at the moment, but maybe the situation with Covid19 isn't helping, creating unimaginable crowds. So I choose to stay local and ride the trails that are running so well. New lines have been explored, and my skill level has developed thanks to some valuable coaching, earlier last year and encouragement from friends. Bearing in mind I'm 51, I still have this burning desire to progress and become a better rider, and I also know that come Saturday, I'm frothing to get out and ride my bike, practice lines, jump, get faster, be more stable, drop my heals, and if I feel progression then I'm mentally stronger too. Maybe this is why I'm not surfing at the moment, too stoked on bikes!
