Hello, you absolute LEGENDS of MTB. 🙌🏼
This is from a recent trip to Bike Park Wales where I got to experience rain for the first time and snow ❄️ while riding and all that happens to you when this occurs, riding Roller Disco into Blue Bell. 🤙🏼
WOW, 😲 my waterproof socks did not fail, the water ran down my legs and into my socks causing my feet to feel like they were swimming, and then become ice blocks ❄️ and it was hilarious. 🤣
What an experience, what an AMAZING day and what a BRILLIANT time riding in rain and snow and through puddles as we hit the trails and realised how much positive fun mountain biking can truly give you, and make you giggle like a school child all over again, and this time be able to appreciate the fun you are having.

I have so much yet to learn after starting MTB last year where I am now getting more time in the saddle than when I started. I am still learning how to ride and practising the basics after my recent and brilliant 1:1 coaching session, and I cannot tell you how much of a difference this has made in my confidence and hopefully my competence on the bike.
Along with learning the basics of MTB, I am learning how to edit and create videos for my family and friends to enjoy and for anyone who has a similar interest in this wonderful and amazing hobby. Particularly if you are new to MTB, learning from coaching sessions, and especially if you started a little later in life, where we don’t bounce anymore, we tend to snap, crackle and pop. 😉
If, like me you are new to MTB, learning from coaching sessions, and especially if you started a little later in life, where we don’t bounce anymore, we tend to snap, crackle and pop. 😉 Also, If you have ever experienced a crash ❤️🩹 and were a little nervous about getting back on the bike, please let me know your experience in the comments, and I would love to respond.
As always, this is Jason the Muppet wishing you absolute LEGENDS Happy Trails. 😊
