So you want to get into mountain biking, huh?
Or maybe
you're looking to take your riding to the next level? You've
likely noticed that the sport is growing all over the country, and the
world for that matter, and by now some of your friends (if not all) have
taken to the trails and started shredding singletrack any chance they
get. You want to join in, but where do you even start?
The world of mountain biking, or MTB for short, has long been seen as intimidating for those looking to try it out - the equipment is expensive, there's a ton of moving parts, it's more than a little dangerous, learning the lingo and local trails takes time, and finding patient people to take you out and show you the ropes isn't always easy. No matter your gender,
the sport presents a large learning curve and an even larger commitment
to those looking to dive in; there's no denying that ladies typically
have an even harder time making the plunge into MTB, similar to most
action sports. That is until recently...
