Mountain Flyer - Issue 63

In this issue

Pushing past limits. Hungry for the unknown. Caught on the trail after sundown. Running low on water and possibly lost. Sometimes a mountain bike lands us in uncomfortable positions. Sometimes we’ve even sought it out. These are the rides and moments on the trail that define us, provide a new perspective or reawaken a passion for the sport. The Winter 2020 issue of Mountain Flyer (No. 63) is packed with stories and photographs that touch on the mountain biker’s desire to seek out both adventure and misadventure. Writer Lydia Tanner finds out why ultra-endurance athlete Lael Wilcox keeps pushing boundaries. Chain of Fools columnist Whitney James shares why it’s good to feel scared every once in a while. Andrew Findlay’s overnight adventure in British Columbia’s backcountry leads him to question humanity’s place in the wild. And Chad Corbin abandons the safe path to pursue a framebuilding career.
