Mountain Biking Basics
Mountain biking is a wonderful activity to do on your next vacation. You will be amazed at the places you can go and the things you can see that you never would have seen in a car or truck. It is a wonderful way to reconnect with nature, bond with your family and friends and stay in shape while your at it. Keep in mind that mountain biking is strenuous exercise and can be quite dangerous if you don't take the proper safety precautions before hitting the trails. You will need to have the proper equipment, know what type of roads or trails you will be experiencing and have the necessary skills to handle the different terrains. First things first, you need to know about the different types of mountain bikes. They come in three different styles, cross country, free style and downhill. The types of activities you will be participating in will determine what type of bike you should purchase. For example, if you will be spending most of your time going down the sides of mountains, a heavier, sturdier downhill bike will be better for you. Ask for advice at your local bike shop, there are so many varieties of bicycles out there, some professional guidance will be helpful.
You should know where you are going. Research biking trails in whatever area of the country you would like to visit. Each trail offers a different level of difficulty, a different type of terrain and different hazards that you may come across. Knowing this in advance will help you plan and prepare for your excursion. You may want to look into joining up with a group of more experienced riders. You can find this information on the internet or through local bicycle stores. If you contact the local parks department, you may be able to get more location specific information and they may even be able to provide a map for you to take along.
Build up to your trip. If you are a "weekend warrior", it may take some time to work yourself into shape. Remember that mountain biking is extremely challenging and is a far cry from riding a bike around town. You will need to condition your body ahead of time so you don't find yourself stranded on the side of a mountain. Start out biking for an hour or so a day and build up to long periods of time. You may also want to check with a doctor to make sure your body is in the top condition necessary for this sport.
Make sure you are safe. Don't forget to pack emergency necessities, water, first aid kit, basic repair tools for your bike. You never know when you will encounter a problem out there, being prepared is the only way to go. Even more important is your safety gear. You should always wear a helmet and eye protection is important as well. Make sure you have comfortable clothing and shoes designed for mountain biking.
By following these guidelines, you should have a safe and fulfilling mountain biking trip!
