What To Look For In MTB Trails

Before we get into actual trail reviews let’s discuss what you should be looking for in a trail to decide if it’s right for you. Depending on the area you live in there are a lot of different possibilities. The first thing you have to do is decide what your purpose is.

  • Are you just looking for some light mountain riding? Be sure to pick a trail that is not overly hilly and has hard smooth tracks.
  • Or are you looking for some endurance training? Pick a mostly flat trail with varying levels of traction.
  • If you’re doing strength training you’ll want lots of hills and possibly a softer track that requires more effort to pedal through.

Choosing the right trail is imperative because you don’t want to get stuck on a trail that goes beyond your physical limits.

Go Out and Ride Your MTB

We’ve talked about everything you need to know to get your MTB and start having a good time!

In the first Learn How To Mountain Bike post we talked about where you can buy a mountain bike and what types of things you should watch out for. Remember to avoid large chain stores as they are not bike specialists and usually sell inferior products.

In the second post, Mountian Biking Safety & Supplies, we talked about the ever-important safety issues associated with mountain bike use. Make sure to turn back to that chapter often as safety should always be your top priority.

After that, we did a little Mountian Bike Maintenance and learned how to clean and lube your bike and then do a pre-trip check to make sure everything was in working order and how to fix a flat once you’re finally on the road.

If you’ve followed the posts carefully you’ve discovered a wide variety of training methods you can use to prepare for your bike rides and to do while you’re on your bike.

Biking is one of the most physically taxing hobbies you can get into and if you do it regularly it can be a great part of a healthy diet and exercise program.

I hope you have found some useful information and the resources to find great trails in this series of posts about Learning How To Mountain Bike. All that’s left for you to do is check out the Mis go out and ride!

    Oh! My need for mountain bike trails is just for a casual ride to build strength and endurance. I noticed that I’m getting too convenient with my exercise routine and I wish for a change, that’s the reason I want to inculcate MTB into my exercise since I know it is great for endurance training. Great to know that there’s an app that can help with information and map concerning the maneuvering through the mountain. Thanks

    Finding the right trails just before heading out to biking is really important and you have in this post explained all to do when looking for a good trail. I never thought that there was a site or an app that could help with mountain biking trails. Thank you for adding all the MTB maintenance tips and what to look out for each type of biking one decides to go for. I’ll check out your other posts too. Best regards!

    Most cyclist get to pick the very wrong trail when its much different from the line they are involved in. I must commend the importance of this post because I have heard so many cases where one is on the wrong track. This tips would go a long way in helping them pick the right trail, most importantly the stunt man who picks trails that are far from the hospital, they don’t give caution to cases of emergency. Thanks for this wonderful post.
