30 Things Mountain Biking has Taught Me About Life
Good writers have often used sport as a metaphor for life.
Preparation wins races. Keep your gear clean. Gear isn’t everything. Don’t ride tired or hungry if you can help it.
Relax. Stay loose. Go with the flow. Balance is first among the virtues; momentum is second. Ensure traction by digging in.
The fun starts when you push the limits. He who dares… Sometimes speed is your friend. Sometimes, the best way past an obstacle is to fly straight over it. There are forks in the road - offering different levels of challenge.
Practicing makes you better. Success requires confidence, but cockiness invites failure. The one who talks the most probably knows the least
Ups are followed by downs. Thousands of tiny decisions are being made every second without you knowing. The hardest parts are the most satisfying afterwards. Keep going.
Don’t hit stationary objects at speed. Learn to fall well. There’s fresh crap on the trail ahead. The thing that nails you is the one you don’t see coming. Look ahead.
Better enjoyed with friends. It’s all about the being and the going, not the having and the arriving. Stop occasionally to admire the view.
Precision beats power, timing beats speed.
