Rejuvenation
No one understands the reason for mountain biking, or I should say few understand the reason behind it. It is a vast exploration of what nature has to offer us. It lets us capture the true essence of one of the most simple inventions in an entity that was our inventor.
"There's more to the bike that meets the eye", I always tell people that question my way of life. "Its not just a frame, a set of wheels, and some gears; a bike is a vessel that once you put your foot on the pedal and your hand on the bar; it becomes a part of your anatomy, like an extension. So that its not just a rider and a bike anymore, its one solid object." My bike and me can go anywhere we please. Thats mountain biking.
Every morning I wake up, I go out to walk around the woods behind my house. I always see the norm, but if an outsider came along, they'd see countless jumps and stunts that I continuously change to keep up with my rapid progression. When I'm in the woods, I breathe very deeply and look out into the woods; sometimes to the stunts, sometimes past them. Often times I don't move for ten minutes at a time. My neighbor always questions what I'm doing, "I'm taking it all in." He's not much of a nature person so he always replies with "Taking in what?"
Since we came from nature, its only right to return to it as much as possible.
Rejuvenation is when your body and mind gains more energy. You often feel rejuventated when you get back from camping or after a swim. You come back and say I feel better than ever. Feeling rejuvenated is an amazing feeling, and very rare for some people. You feel stronger, wiser, and almost like you could hold up the world for years and years. Thats the reason I ride mountain bikes, because every ride leaves me feeling rejuvenated.
