Hi there, Kirstin! My mom is 54 years old and mentioned a few days ago that she would like to get into mountain biking. Your video just made me want to encourage her to do that. 😄
Could've saved even more money if you sold that electronic transmission and put mechanical in its place. Anyway, many many more years to mom riding. Riding = being alive and staying healthy.
I've put a link to the ride in the description so you can have a look at the route. It is really nice although the entrance is a bit overgrown so it's easy to miss!
