Hmm. Most memorable moment riding, has to be the epic Downhill endurance event at Fort William.  6hrs of constant downhill pounding, nothing quite like a 10hr drive followed by minimal sleep followed by a grizzly, wet, windy, & cold day of downhill, ha, I loved every minute of it!

None, just get out and ride! Pain is weakness leaving the body!
