Mountain Biking

I love the outdoors and I am always looking for fun ways to be active and get outside.  This time of year I love getting out on my mountain bike.  It can be muddy and buggy this time of year but it is always fun.  Mountain biking is a great way to get outside, challenge yourself and it is a great form of exercise to help you get fit or stay fit.
Some quick tips to make your ride more enjoyable:
-Get bike shorts with a padded seat.
-A proper fitting helmet and gloves are a must.
-Use bug spray.
-Make a habit of providing regular maintenance to your bike.
-Go with a group (for fun and safety), its not a good idea to go off in the woods by yourself.

I could go on and on, but those are a few items that have helped me make my rides more enjoyable.

  2. Mountain biking is something I don't do very often - I hate to say it, but my bike has been collecting dust for quite some time . . .
