How to keep motivated this winter! Whether you are a weekend mountain bike rider who just rides to get out in nature for some fresh air or a determined mountain bike racer it is tough to stay motivated to stay in shape during the off-season. He tells us that victory is fleeting and if we don't enjoy the journey on the way to achieving our goals what is the point. If we do our best everyday we will not only enjoy our lives more we will likely exceed our goals. So whether you are training for a long ride in Moab next spring or the biggest race or your life, train hard and have fun!

One of our students just emailed me this link to a study on the effects of tire pressure and energy output from the rider. While this is a study on road tires they have an interesting section on rough surfaces which applies to mountain bikes. As we explain in our camps lower pressure tires absorb shock better (the tire simply flexes instead of having to go up and over the bump (making your entire body weight go up and over the bump when seated and pedaling) giving you a smoother and more efficient ride.
