Is bike touring core?

[nagromie]

Due to a substantial lack of snow during the summer, i turn to biking, as all of us skiers do.

Mountain biking is cool and all, but i found myself more so enjoying a 150km day ride through long roads, eventually reaching a campsite, waking up at 5 and doing the same thing the next day. I started last summer, and i expect this summer to be as cool. NOTE: i actually dont tour on my skis in the winter. looks to be too much $$. Also i live on the east ??

Just wanted to get peoples insight on that aspect of cycling. What attracts you guys most about MTB?

Nothing entertains me more than overweight “endurance athletes” in tight clothes

I run red lights so I can brag to my friends how I'm the top dog today in the 240+lb male over 45 strava segment that only 3 other people ride

I wish you chose a different photo as my fellow primates and I do not use, nor like, the word core as it's used outside of Gear Talk

Yes- having hobbies that you enjoy outside of skiing is hella core. Bonus points if it’s a more niche/unusual hobby that you do because you enjoy it.

waking up at 5

not core

Waking up whenever you feel like it or letting the sun wake you up? Very core

 

[flavourtown]

Fixie riding is more core
