None of those.
It's getting into the back country, seeing things you don't get to see often.
Finding old ruins, foundations and forgotten roads that haven't seen anyone in decades.
It's quiet time.

Those 2 are 99% perfect in my eyes only lacking one thing (in regards to me), progression. Can be anything from climbing a trail I had walked to cleaning a dh section to gain a ft on a drop etc...its all about small measurements of progression (even mental blocks)

I love to be in the woods and the mountains and hiking/backpacking is just too slow for me now. Mountain biking is a nice adjunct to road biking and vice versa. It also is a fun way to stay fit and keep ones reflexes from deminishing due to aging. It's a neat way to do some friendly competition with the "kids" who are in their 40's. Then too, the occasional club rides are a blast.
