MOUNTAIN BIKING FOR THE REST OF US

The thought of mountain biking may conjure an intimidating mental image of a “Red Bull Rampager,” the adrenaline junkie flying down the mountain and catching big air. Hard pass, right?

Mtbikefun.com is about mountain biking for the rest of us. Riding like the Rampager we pictured isn’t a bad thing, but it isn’t required to enjoy the sport. Young, old, girls, boys, anyone can ride a bike. You’re not limited by age, size, sex or athletic ability. You can ride solo, with friends or family, or in community. A sense of adventure and the desire to enjoy life are all you need. 

For me, a 50 something 105lb woman, mountain biking has become part of a physically and mentally healthy lifestyle. There’s nothing like an endorphin inducing ride to flush out the bad mojo of a stressful day. You can’t beat good ol’ fashioned fresh air and exercise.  Plus, it’s just plain fun!

You don’t need a gym membership to participate, no wasted monthly fees, just fresh air and natural beauty. The really good news? There are trails in every corner of the US so no matter where you live there’s somewhere nearby to ride. I’ll share my favorite mountain biking destinations, trail reviews and travel tips including good places to stay, eat and play in the USA. So come out and ride the trails and make mountain biking a part of your healthy lifestyle.
