Being on foot was a refreshing shift. After cranking out over 60 miles on the bike the day before, complete with a whole lot of climbing, walking the trails brought a whole new perspective. It reminded me of just how remarkable mountain biking is. To think, you cover all that distance, tackle all those tough terrains, with just a few spins of the pedals. Walking those same trails really drove home how efficient—and honestly, kind of magical—biking truly is.
