Singletrack - the holy grail of mountain biking?


There are many facets to mountain biking, but beautifull, sweet, flowing singletrack is argueably the one terrain that binds all mountain bikers.

I am yet to meet one that hasn't had a smile on their face after riding it. It is the one thing we all have in common, the one experience that a beginner on a zero-suspension rigid klunker with toe clips can understand and appreciate just as much as a world cup downhiller.

It's what drives all of us forward, against the will of our bursting lungs and aching muscles, searching for that next great trail that we've never ridden before.

Just thinking out loud.
