Climbing is good because you get to go down after the torture stops.

41 - I ride All Mountain when I'm not on the road. Lately, I've been trying out CX and b een having a blast. It's like XC but on a road bike.

I'm the oldest so far at 67. I bike half-time in N Florida and half time in the mountains of GA and Tenn and once in a while N Carolina. It's aggressive XC in N Florida as the trails need lots of speed to keep them interesting. It's XC mostly singletrack in the mountains. I love to climb and explore those many trails there.
I also road bike once in a while.

51, gravity junkie. DH, agressive trailriding, but I like XC racing and off-road duathlons too (masochist!).

37, aggressive XC, easy urban (no drops more than 3'), All-mountain.
My riding style is dictated more by the trails in my area vs. what I prefer to ride! I try to ride the more aggressive line and always take the riskier route.
Always wanted to get into DJing, but never have. I may try it out with some friends this coming weekend.

31 - Anywhere my 2 wheels will take me. Some would say more aggressive as I get older, but truth is I ride smarter, not harder, as my skill level goes up.
