A friend of mine came up for a mountain bike ride this week and brought his little brother along. He hadn’t seen him in awhile since little brother was going to school in Montana. It was hard to believe that he was living in Montana and still had never been mountain biking, but since his main focus was football he just never had the time.

As always it’s super fun watching a new rider discover just what a bike can do if you let it roll. It was also fun watching a big brother introduce a new thing to little brother, even if he is a grown man. When you’re riding a mountain bike deep in the forest we all feel like we’re young again, that’s why we go. Young guys very rarely like the climbing part of it, and Joe was no different. However, just like everyone else, the minute we hit the downhill he started railing that sweet single track. In fact, his grin was so huge he got bugs in his teeth. 

If you’ve been riding for awhile you know that all of us on two wheels are part of the same family, we’re all brothers and sisters on bike. Come on up, bring someone new, introduce them to mountain biking in Big Bear and I’ll introduce them to the rest of the family.

Spreading the Love, Rev
