Since I quit competing at twenty nine years old, there had always been a void in my adrenaline intake from riding bulls. Obviously, there are some things we have to quit. But there are other sports that are just as exhilarating if you have the courage to do them.

I am now sixty seven. I have done what The Secret says to do. It has also strengthened my relationship with God. I started downhill mountain biking at the age of 67. So far, I am the oldest one on the hill that I know of. It is terrifying if you have never done it before, haha. But I envisioned myself doing it. The following week, I took my bike and rode down. I did not go down the easiest paths. I went down the expert blue diamonds. I crashed twice, but I kept going!

I am now in week 3! It has given me back the adrenaline rush that I have missed so much. Because I had started doing this, I have also gone on a 120 ft bungee jump! I also started to get back into rock climbing, something that I had quit doing about 20 years ago.

I am so tired of hearing that I am too old for this or that! Mentally visualize what you want to do, and then go do it! Never tell anyone your age! Just do it!
