In conjunction with our new line of Women’s Trips and Skills Camps, we’re now sharing our extensive knowledge of mountain biking, including some specific tips for women – for FREE – in a comprehensive new 61-page guide entitled ‘The Women’s Guide to Mountain Biking’.

Whether you are new to the sport, a converted roadie, or a seasoned trail rider launching off every root, rock and drop in sight, you’ll find tons of useful information and tips for women (and our parts!) in the guide, such as:

• Anatomy of a mountain bike
• Intro to mountain bike speak
• How to wear a mountain bike helmet with long hair
• Pee like a pro
• Hardtail vs. full suspension mountain bikes
• Making the switch to clipless mountain bike pedals
• Healthy Recipes for before, during and after your ride
• An interview with Emily Batty on women’s mountain biking and mountain bike travel
