The average age of my club is about 50 and whilst most of them are very experienced mountain bikers I have the extra energy to be popping around either side of the trail whilst they keep it steady and serious (that said, there is a 58 yr old I can’t beat over any distance!). I’m currently on a Breezer Team Lightning Team 29, which I like a lot but I’m finding I’m more into cocking about than gurning up hills euro-marathon style. We’re near Versailles and our outings are mostly forest-based with a sandstone background but with far more uppy and downy than you’d expect in the Sun King’s back garden! That said, every summer I holiday in the Alps at Aussois (which has a World Cup DH run, yes…). I’m based in France and ride with my local club, “les castors grimpeurs” (the climbing beavers!).
