Mountain Biking

[fitmissjen]

Sorry if this topic has been covered a million times before! (I did do a search, but everything was pretty old)

My partner and I are keen mountain bikers, we take any oportunaty we can to shred some dirt!

For me, MTBing is just another way of keeping my fitness up and getting up and about outdoors.

I was wondering if there were any other keen mountain bikers in the Fitbit community...

NZ has some pretty amazing trails which we are so luck to have. What does your part of the world have to offer?

And of course, show us your bike/s!!

I am currently riding a Marin Quad XLT 7.9, and I LOVE it!

@fitmissjen That is a very good looking bike! Love it. I don't do mountain bike but I have friends that do and it's really cool. New Zealand is an awesome place with awesome trails for this sport. There are really cool trails in Guatemala too! Pacaya Volcano and Lake Atitlan.

I'm loving this thread! @fitmissjen beautiful bike and dog I'll show it to my husband, he is into this sport, which by the way, is quite hard to do. I tried it once and let me tell you, it didn't go very well (fell like 20 times) hahaha. 

@SantiR Very nice pictures as well. Awesome view!

Hello @fitmissjen! Awesome sport and nice bike too!  

To be honest with you I have not done this for years, I think the last time was like 10 years ago!  We use to go to my grandfather's farm with the hole family and eat something delicious, it was there where I actually learned how to ride a bike for the first time, awww brought me very good memories. My cousins still do it all the time, and enjoy it very much. I Still enjoy riding my bike through my neighberhood though.

Thanks for the motivation, @fitmissjen I will definetely take the dust out of my bike and give it a try next weekend! 

Hey@SantiR, beautiful places and my favorite place ever, Lake atitlan will defenitly be the place to go. 

 And hey @Mcore, I think falling 100 times is always part of the learning process, I will probably fall more times than you, but will always get up, remember that practice makes the master.

I'm loving this thread too!

I don't ride bikes on anything other than pavement right now, but I have been trying to get into trail running, so the pictures are really inspirational for me!

As much as i try not to...i still fall! 

We have some amazing tracks in Rotorua, which is about 3 hours North of where I live. We try to ride there at least once a month. The tracks there do wonders for one's confidence!

There is Skyline Rotorua and the Redwood Forest.

Skyline is our favourite, you take the Gondola to the top, and ride back down... Brilliant!

Thanks so much to everyone who has shared their story

I have not yet started, but it's one of my dreams to practice mountain bike, and my dream destination to practice it, if I could pick any place in the world, would be Ireland, I love everything about that country and their culture. 

                 

New Zealand and Guatemala look amazing as well to practice a sport like this. I love the beautiful landscapes.

Thanks!

Great sport @fitmissjen. You can enjoy the landscape while workout. Meeting new places and breathing their fresh air sounds cool.
