The Mountain Bike Chronicles
What are the Mountain Bike Chronicles?
by Flyin Al Gidden
When it comes to riding a Mountain Bike there is nothing like practice to
keep you fit.
The more practice you have on a Mountain Bike, the better shape you are in,
and the better you can ride.
In a perfect world you would have all day and night to ride and explore with
your mountain bike.
Let's face it, none of us have ever been to
perfect-world, and we are probably not going any time soon.
The Mountain Bike Chronicles are a diary of thoughts and lessons learned in 8
years of riding mountain bikes. This is not a manual on how the pros ride, and
this is not going to give you any ultimate solutions to anything. What you can
get from the mountain bike chronicles is information on how to ride, or how not
to ride when you do get time to practice .
If you want to be a better rider, you are in the right
place.
Each article contains information on a topic about mountain
bikes:
