Starting mountain biking is exciting. But when you’re new, it can also feel overwhelming. So many bikes. So much gear. So many opinions.

The good news? You don’t need everything. You just need the right basics.

Here’s what you actually need when you’re starting out. It's easier than you think.

Jo will be back coaching from the beginning of August, so if you're keen to give it a go, check out our programs.

🇦🇹 I rode my very first European bike park at Innsbruck Muttereralm. To say I felt out of my depth would be an understatement. Why?

😬 Dave wasn't riding, so my usual comfort person wasn't there
😬 I had to figure out how to load my bike into a gondola
😬 Work out where I was going, and tackle the trails solo
😬 The trail was 7km long, with 680m of descent
😬 I was riding a single-speed enduro bike with no dropper post! (No sitting required)

At the top of the first run, it felt pretty intimidating, and I wondered what I was doing!! But what did I learn?

😄 To trust myself
😄 Embrace the nerves
😄 I have the skills to get down the trail safely, even if it isn't the fastest
😄 I have the same right as others to be riding in the park

By the second run, I was more relaxed and actually enjoyed the experience, dust and all.

💛 What an experience 💛 What a place 💛 What a reminder of what we're capable of 💛

Remember: you can also do anything when you stop waiting to feel ready 💛 🚵‍♀️

Robin Williams' story reminds us that even in our darkest moments, we can find light and healing through movement, nature, and the simple rhythm of a bike ride 🧡 🚵‍♀️

I can attest to it 👊

🚨 Robin Williams was beloved for his extraordinary talent and infectious humor, but behind the laughter, he faced profound mental health struggles, including depression and anxiety.

These battles were often hidden beneath his brilliant performances, yet they shaped the depth of his empathy and creativity. Despite these challenges, Robin found solace in cycling, a passion he described as “mobile meditation.”

Riding road bikes allowed him to escape the chaos of his mind, offering moments of peace and clarity. Cycling became more than just exercise for him; it was a therapeutic way to reconnect with himself and the world around him.

For many, cycling provides similar benefits. The rhythmic pedaling and steady motion help quiet racing thoughts, reduce stress, and promote mindfulness. Being outdoors, feeling the wind, and focusing on the ride can provide a powerful mental reset.

Cycling encourages physical health, which is closely tied to emotional well-being. For those struggling with mental health, engaging in activities like cycling can foster resilience and hope, much like it did for Robin.

His story reminds us that even in our darkest moments, we can find light and healing through movement, nature, and the simple rhythm of a bike ride.
