Why do you mountain bike and race? - I Mountain Bike to free my mind, deal with work related stress and get into Nature. I love the outdoors and solitude that being in the woods provides. An added bonus is that riding increases your physical fitness. The more you ride, the stronger you feel, win/win. I got into racing because I loved pushing myself farther then I would during a normal ride. There is nothing like the buzz you get from adrenaline and endorphins from riding hard.
