Mountain biking is an excellent way to experience the outdoors, stay in shape, or simply have fun. Racing down the side of the mountain is certainly a lot of fun, even though it is may also be quite dangerous. However, even if it’s dangerous, if you ride with caution, it can be enjoyed by the whole family.
Preparing for a race requires training in endurance and strength and teaching yourself how to rest and recover. Mountain Cycling Training involves time both on the bike and off of it. You will be climbing hills and sprinting so you need to have stamina and strength. You will be off road and will need to be strong in order to maneuver your way through obstacles and various terrain.
If you struggle to stay fit and trim in the off season, then using a turbo trainer may be the answer!
