Trail jogging on Mount Buller

I used to enjoy mountain biking. Taking my bike to visiting Mount Buller in summer and riding the gentler (blue) trails was a lot of fun. However just before Covid, I fell and broker a finger (not at Buller though). My recovery time flowed into the ‘ring of steel lockdown’ so I was unable to ride my mountain bike for quite a while.

When the Covid lockdown finally lifted, I found I had lost my desire for Mountain Bike riding. While my deteriorating knees were an issue, I think it was more that my personal risk profile had changed. The idea of a long recovery from an accident now weighed heavily on my mind.

But I miss the concentration and making quick judgement calls!

So when I now visit Buller, I jog the trails instead. Making sure your foot placement is correct makes the mind work hard. The scenery is an added bonus.
