It is important to have passions. A fulfilling life is one where a person is driven to see new places and try new activities. Passions can sustain a person through good times and bad. And a true passion of Jacob Baranski’s life is mountain biking.

A committed mountain biker, Jacob is intrigued and excited by the whole experience of the sport. He loves moving through landscapes, familiar and unfamiliar on his bike. It provides the sensation of discovery, even when there’s a well-worn trail before him. It feels like being an explorer, all while getting the best exercise a person can get.

Mountain bikers experience nature in a unique, breathtaking fashion. The sounds and smells of the countryside. The clean, crisp air that often seems too chilly at the beginning of a ride. Veteran bikers know how it will transform into a relieving cool down along the trail due to how much their body temperature will rise over the course of a rigorous trip.

There’re lots of little things to appreciate beyond just the ride. Jacob Baranski enjoys stopping under a tree to rest, and simply be isolated in the heart of nature. And he loves reaching the end of a trail, and feeling like the accomplishment has truly been earned.
