Older MTB buds in Ottawa area
Hey all!
So tossing this out there, as I noticed that summer is quickly fleeting - I am an older (late 30s) guy who no longer has friends to go ride an MTB with in Gatineau. My current friends are all married, or gave up riding ages ago. My 20s are gone! (lol)
I have been out of the sport for a while, but last year I finally got back on my bike (2017ish Norco Range 2), and had fun the couple times I went out. Tried Trail 72B, and others in that area. Nothing hardcore, but a decent time and loved the technical downhill parts.
I am not the fastest or most skilled, but not a total noob. I was curious if there was anyone here who would be willing to "adopt an adult bud" and maybe show me some trails, or help me navigate the Fortune (easier) trails one day?
I am free weekdays at the moment and foreseeable future, so that's always an option.
Again, I just need someone/some people to re-introduce me to riding an MTB in Gatineau, and be patient somewhat.
I just really miss riding a full-squish bike, rather than just doing solo loops on my road or gravel bike!
Any tips, leads, ideas, pointers appreciated!
