Anyway, my point I guess is that I love 'Shore pics and flics because a) I'm homesick and b) I am a mountainbiker at heart. Too old now, as you say, for the gnarly stuff -- and anyway, I have no talent and would have killed myself had I tried -- but still love riding off-road on relatively tame terrain. Lots of the latter (as well as gnar) in the area I'll return to!
I can totally relate - spent 9 years on the prairies and could not wait to get back to the coast. Been back 25 years and aint goin' anywhere!
Some mighty fine riding on the island as I recall.
