Hello everybody.
Short introduction:
Came to EMTB because I was overtaken badly on my BioBike.
Now riding an Sam2, once it gets the new battery.
Used it mainly for commuting to work, which is great fun, as I have some nice trails on the way to work.
I live near Wiesbaden.
Hope bike get repaired soon and home office is over after eastern.
Stefan

Welcome!

You come from a lovely part of the world. I spent the best part of 15 years working in or near Geisenheim. Lived in Wiesbaden, Geisenheim, Martinsthal, Bad Camberg and Frankfurt (twice!). Some great tracks, beautiful scenery and excellent wines!

Yeah, Feldberg in the Taunus is a nice location, they build some nice flow trails last years.
You would be surprised.
But also around Wiesbaden there are nice trails, you just need to find them?
Took me 3 years and now I'm to old to ride them all?

Blauhassinger, Never too old, at Dalby Forest we see an 84 year old riding like he stole it we are in total admiration of him, You are only too old if you think you are, whats worst that can happen? just get back on and go again....love your part of the world been many times.

Speaking from experience, there comes an age where one ceases to bounce. Instead one lands with a crunching splatt!

Ok, maybe not to old, but cracked one of my vertebrae two years ago. Decided then to leave the bigger jumps out.
