Its taken me till my 30’s to get into cycling. I was lucky to have an afternoon out with work mountain biking a few years back where it scared the life out of me on a wet cold red route. Not sure how it didn’t put me off for life but I now have my own bike and looking at getting a few courses in this year.
During covid I borrowed a road bike, I liked it but have realised I’m better off without car’s around so i’m sticking with the mountain bike and gravel.
