oldfart musings

A year is like eternity when you lost a sense of direction and floating by like a dead wood. When there is no target to meet  time seems endless or so I feel. How do retirees who dont have any hobbies survive?. Im glad that I have a healthy hobby and look forward to every weekend and I still work for an imaginary  target .

Riding is my lifelong activity. Earlier years of my obsession was spent riding trails and I have a special liking for trials style of riding,slow and always taking care of the environment I was in. As time went by and my skill progressed, trials bike was unavailable in bikeshops and still are, my skills was limited by my machines. There was a brief of time when a friend smuggled in 2 units of trials machine from a neighbouring country and our rides on real trials machine began but it was not to last for we are law abiding people and the illegal machine were left to rot.

Frustated I turned to riding trails and trials on mountain bikes and spent almost 20 years doing that. I managed to develop my son to be a biketrials rider and he is my trophy.

The development of endurocross overseas has given me a new hope in riding trails the trials way hence began my refreshed interest in trailbikes. For the last three year I have been developing my riding skills on a CKD trailbike in and around where I live and still loving it...........at 53.

My immediate target is to share my skill with interested rider through video lessons and probably training rides too with special attention to conservation practices while on the trails.
