Recovery ride after an MTB injury in the Forest of Dean with Church of Dirt

Описание: Please join me for a special MTB recovery ride through the Forest of Dean, 🌳 supporting some amazing friends 🤗 returning to the trails after injury and surgery. ❤️‍🩹 With doctor clearance and the green light to begin light rehab riding, they're ready to ease into the next stage of recovery. ❤️‍🩹

In this video, we take on gentle paths, gradual descents, and light technical sections, perfect for rebuilding strength, confidence, and joy on the bike. 😊This is a reminder that recovery is not just physical, but emotional, 🥹 and there's no better place to heal than out on the trails, surrounded by friends. 🤗

A huge thank you to the Church of Dirt MTB group 🙌🏼 for allowing me to share this ride on their Facebook page. I was humbled and blown away by how many riders turned up. The kindness, support, absolute banter, good conversation, and fun were perfect examples of how Group Rides = More Fun! 🤩

This video celebrates the MTB community: a place where we lift each other up, ride at the pace of recovery, and cheer on each milestone, no matter how small. 🤜🏼🤛🏼

I hope you'll come along on this cross-country adventure, enjoy the trails, share in the banter, and meet some truly wonderful people who are moving forward after injury, one pedal stroke at a time.🤗

I share this latest diary entry in the hopes 🤞🏼 that I will begin to express my gratitude in the videos and showcase more individuals achieving their goals, just as I have. Like many others, this video is not solely about me; it is about MTB and one of the most extraordinary revelations I have encountered: you, the community, and the significant, consistently positive impact you have made on me, just as you have on one another in countless ways. 🤍

As I embrace and enjoy coaching lessons, sessioning, and participating in group rides with other MTB riders, I still love to practice the fundamentals. I cannot express how much of a difference this has made to my confidence and competence on the bike. 🤩

If you are like me and new to MTB, I cannot recommend highly enough learning through coaching, group rides, and sessioning/practising. This is particularly important if you start a bit later in life, as we no longer bounce; we tend to snap, crackle, and pop. 😉 Also, if you have ever had a crash ❤️‍🩹 and felt a bit anxious about getting back on the bike, please share your experience in the comments, and I would love to respond.

As always, this is Jason the Muppet wishing you absolute LEGENDS Happy Trails. 😊
