ADB’s resident health guru, Stephen Gall, has been badgering me for years about working on my fitness. I often find myself sore and exhausted after a two-day ride or after the first three laps on a rough track. Even when shooting and practicing for the last How To Ride series on riding deep sand, I found myself gassed after just two laps. Gally tells me time and time again, get fit, that will solve your problem!
Lifting weights at a gym just isn’t my thing. I don’t mind running but three knee reconstructions means I can’t put too much pressure on my joints. Swimming I find boring and road cycling is too dangerous in the leafy Sydney suburbs. I’ve always wanted to get into mountain biking but could never justify the cost of a decent mountain bike. Runners and swimming goggles are a lot cheaper.
