If you love being out in nature enjoying beautiful, breathtaking views, you’ll love cycling. Cyclists are generally a friendly group of people and riding bikes can be an excellent way to make new friends and create community. 

Rob Dull is an avid cyclist and the principal planner at Find The Line Studios based out of Asheville, NC. Rob heads up the firm's master planning efforts around community development and outdoor recreation projects. 

Rob shares why community is important to our overall wellbeing and how leveraging natural assets with a healthy lifestyle around cycling is a win-win for everyone. 

Discover how Rob's new project in Costa Rica, Buen Camino Bike Park, is becoming the model for creating community around the great outdoors. The mountain bike park offers trails of all experience levels in a lush, tropical mountain forest in the central valley of Costa Rica. 

Rob explores how social interactions and building friendships are more meaningful when progressing through physical challenges (and even an element of danger) together.

Find out how physical movement, along with a rush of adrenaline, will help you survive real challenges and how mountain biking allows you to push your comfort level to places you might not otherwise go.

A must listen!
