Why Try Mountain Biking? - by Nancy Devore

Get a tremendous workout - Getting bored with the gym routine? Then try mountain biking! As you lose yourself amongst the trees and flowers, you won't even realize how many calories you're burning.

Find your inner wild - Mountain biking is a wonderful way to get outdoors and get in a quality workout all the while feeling like a kid again. You can easily find yourself giggling and thinking this is way too fun. Don't forget to "woo hoo"!!

It's EXTREMELY accessible - Despite what you see on TV, mountain biking doesn't have to be an extreme sport. Easy, beautiful trails are yours for the taking. You'll be surprised at how many readily accessible trails are available in most metropolitan areas. You'll often find the trails close enough to enjoy on a weekday evening without much driving.

Everything you need is right at your fingers - Your local bike shop can usually point you in the right direction and hook you up with local riding clubs and clinics. Get a head start on safe riding skills by checking out the Wildflower Mountain Biking for Women video. Ride on!
