Going Pro at 36: Rab Wardell’s Unlikely Rise to the MTB Top
The latest entry to Wahoo’s ‘Old Enough to Know Better’ series follows an affable MTB rider as he takes on the cadence of a full-time pro athlete.
As you’ll see in this edit, Rab Wardell is a chipper guy and keen storyteller. But ask him how it feels to make the pro cut in mountain biking at the age of 36, and he has just one emphatic word: “Happy.”
As a late bloomer, Wardell seems to harness a kind of humble dignity and palpable excitement that we rarely get to see in the pro leagues.
Give it a watch; it might make your day.
