This guest post was written by Betty over at http://bettymountaingirl.blogspot.com I brought up the topic of mountain biking alone, in this last post as a way to progress as a rider. A few great comments from other ladies brought up it’s about who you ride with. While, I’ve found hitting the singletrack solo has helped me lose the free advice, I also agree that riding...

This guest post was written by Betty over at http://bettymountaingirl.blogspot.com My boyfriend and I got serious about riding at the same time, but we progressed at very different rates.

For instance, to get a quality bike, you are going to...

Post written by Angela Brown As I have branched out and began riding more trails in the Pisgah National Forest, I can see how far my riding has improved over the years.  I am still not the fastest or the most agile rider out there, but I have improved none the less.  I mean my husband, Stephen, and I go out and ride, usually, the same trails every week.  We learn the...

Today, Jenn and I headed down to Conyers, GA so that she could attend a woman’s beginner clinic held by Namrita O’Dea. Namrita is on her way to becoming the fastest endurance racer in the woman’s class so her advise for Jenn was going to be incredible. Her and her husband Eddie (another endurance monster) also own 55Nine Performance.  55Nine is the best...
