i am sort of like this when it comes to mtn biking as i rarely will drive out to bragg creek any more and instead i will just ride around in Fish Creek/Bow Bottom and avoid the 1.5hrs of driving.

I've been more into XC skiing for several years now for these reasons. The mountains are still way better, but I can have plenty of fun for an hour or two at a city golf course. Plus it's better fitness and a lot more challenging...hurling down a moderate slope on those twigs is [almost] as thrilling as good steeps/trees.
