I think there is definitely something zen-like about mountain biking. Time passes differently on the trail.
Agreed. Although I'm primarily a roadie, I always come off of my mtb thinking that there is no better fun to be had by putting something between your legs

Well, almost

Seriously, I love the freedom of taking any trail I feel like, going over bumps because I want to and challenging my riding skills through sandy/soupy stuff. I also love the smooth, zen experience of road biking - the rhythmic cadence of the pedals, & the settling of the mind...

Is there any better sport out there? I think not!
