TOP TEN TIPS FOR MOUNTAIN BIKING

Any day out on the trail can be one of the funniest of your life but you must always be prepared. Our bodies and equipment can take a beating and can end up in need of repair, so I have compiled a list of 10 tips to help make any ride a great one.

1. Wear proper and comfortable clothing and shoes.

2. Check your bike before you hit the trails. Proper tire pressure is a must.

3. Bring a properly fitted backpack or a hydration pack that has room to pack essentials.

4. Pack these for a quick fix on the trail: a bike specific tool kit, tire patches and tubes and a small air pump.

5. Bring plenty of snacks and water for refueling. Apples and bananas, nuts, and energy bars are great
choices.

6. Pack a cell phone and always let someone know where you’ll be riding.

7. Don’t forget the sun block and bug spray, nature is unforgiving.

8. Pack a small first-aid kit.

9. Only hit trails rated for your experience level.

10. Have Fun!
