I’m of the belief that every single rider must take up off-road riding at least once in their life. Not only is it an excellent way to really get good at riding, it’s also pretty good at developing virtues like perseverance and creativity, as you’ll need to come up with ways to get over all the obstacles the trail throws your way.
Off-road riding is very much like life, actually. We focus on the challenges that come our way, and cook up ways to overcome them. More often than not, these challenges lead to a certain goal—or a destination, if you will. But what usually happens when we reach the destination is that we realize that the journey was really what mattered most.
