Off road biking
When we went to Porquerolles, I had great fun riding around on a mountain bike, regressing back to a time of popping wheelies and jumping ramps built of scrap wood.
On a road bike you can have the fun of smooth high speeds, intense exercise, distance workouts. The difference with off road biking at least as we did it the other day is that with a road bike, I'm still riding to get somewhere. With a mountain bike I was riding mainly for entertainment.
Nathalie saw me looking at mountain bikes on the web and forbade me to get one for her birthday. She said she'd rather have a printer. I'll have to get her something silly instead. She's becoming too much of an adult for her own good.
