This thread is an easy reminder of all the stuff I think most of us already know but just need a reminder.. A simple list written down and thinking what you do and what you don't do is a great one. ..and I think this thread is just that . It's a list. bowhunter sounds like you are doing fine just doing what you are already doing to get better. One of the main ones is riding with guys that are faster than you ..then riding a long time and then riding often. You watch some vids and you have decent fitness from riding mountain bike. I think I just have to do what you do

Thank you, for the compliments. I REALLY enjoy riding. Now that my kids are grown, I have lots of free time. My wife hasn't said a word about my frequent riding(I bought her a hay burner, oops, horse). Several of us are heading for the snow line, this Sat. I think riding in snow is fun... others, not so much
