Summer is approaching (in the Northern hemisphere, anyways) and while I do still bike in the winter, I'm hyped for the nicer weather to go on more leisure rides rather than just commuting.

However, I'm lacking ideas and inspirations for spots to cycle to, so I was curious where everyone here likes to go on bike rides!

Watch GMBN on youtube. They can teach you how to get started with downhill and doing tricks. It's how I started during the pandemic. Even with a hybrid you could try some light downhill trails. But make sure you watch some videos and pay attention to the tips. Body positioning and proper braking technique are really important in downhill. Hope you have fun soon!
