In this episode, "Mountain biking over 40, breaking through mental barriers", Lee McCormack from Lee Likes Bikes has a plan to hit the Whale Tail at Valmont mountain bike park.
The problem is, like a lot of over 40 riders, Lee has developed a mental block that has stopped him like a brick wall for the last several years. Mountain biking is a never ending chain of challenge and acheivement. That's why every mountain biker has an obstacle or barrier that they are working on.
And those obstacles are rarely just physical.
Any over-40 mountain biker is dealing with a lifetime of physical, mental and emotional trauma that has taken up home in our cels. Pushing through all the psychic buildup and mental barriers can feel nearly impossible.
Yet we've all done it and the feeling that comes from breaking though our old limits is the very best kind of living.
The obstacle might be a 20 foot gap or it might be a small drop but the steps to get past any obstacle and the feelign of accomplishment are the same.
Lee coaches other people on how to step up to new challenges every day but today he's going to use his own techniques to get himself over a big physical and emotional obstacle. The Whale Tail at Valmont. Using the same "Pre-Flight Checklist" he uses with clients he evaluates his readiness, hacks his brain chemistry until it's time to switch off the brain and go.
Does he make it?
Does he even go for it?
