Am I done? Getting Past The Cycling Doldrums!

in fact, its been that way the last couple months.
I started this channel back in 2018 and really got back into mtn biking in earnest in 2016 or 2017. So its been a solid 7 to 8 years of sticking to one hobby. And for me that’s kind of an accomplishment.
Bikes was always different though. Bikes was in my DNA. I’ve gone into my history of biking in previous eps but in a nutshell it’s what I’ve done in one capacity or another since I was 4 years old. I may have gotten away from it but it was always there in the corner doing pushups.
But today, even though I don’t really want to, this perfect weather is saying get your butt out there. So let’s go.

I'm going to be 50 this summer. I built a bike 2 years ago, and still haven't taken it on the trails. I used to race bmx as a kid, so my mind set is ..yes...bikes. But I tell ya, getting my fat ass on the bike is a challenge in itself. Thank you for being here. You do more with posting these videos than you know.

dude. same. I'm 54. So this year I finally realized what was wrecking my biking - my inability to breathe. too much abdominal fat was pushing up on my diaphragm, inhibiting my lungs from expanding fully - breathing. BIG TIME. So I actually dropped the weight - I feel young again and can keep up with the young'uns. P.S.: I had to drop the beer after rides which was ruining everything for me. worked. I don't miss beer that much now that I"m having fun on the trails again. I just posted couple of shorts where I got back to the bike park and am having a great time again. I used the MyFitness Pal app and tracked my calories. you can use any app you want, tracking's the way to do it - intermittent fasting didn't work for me. this did. good luck, you can do it!

51 yo here I notice if I miss 3 weeks it’s like starting my cardio all over again. Plus being in South Florida its wicked hot on the trails.

So.... I watched this three times. It felt as if you were describing me. Uncomfortable 😜. 61 this year and everything you said=yep. My son likes to say im gearing down in preparation for death ☠️. He thinks this will motivate me. Booked a long weekend at cyuna end of july and haven't put two miles on my bike yet. Running a obstacle course race end of June, not prepared. Life continues. You out it out ill watch. Thanks
