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!
