Gone Wild
Take Pepper Spray to Protect Yourself Against Wild Animals
Mountain biking is a great way to get some exercise and enjoy the great outdoors. While there are many who enjoy the “extreme” nature of the sport, you don’t have to be riding over the edge of a steep ravine to profit from a day out on your bike. All you need is a few tips to make for a fun and safe day.
It’s All About the Location
There are many areas in the country that provide ample opportunity to take your new mountain bike for a ride. Regardless of where you are heading, for a few hours to a whole day’s excursion, you will find numerous paths that will be ideal for either a beginner or an advanced rider.
The best places to find good bike paths are the Internet and your local bike store. There are many websites dedicated to cycling, mountain and street, which describe the local riding areas and the challenges found there. The advantage is that you can usually get multiple reports from people who have actually ridden the path and up to date information relating to any problems the trail may have.
If you go to your local bike store, you may be able to get information directly from the source, people who ride in your area. Additionally, you can often find a notice board that includes data on local riding groups and activities for you to join.
Planning the Day
One of the nicest things about setting out on the trail is that you get away from the urban life for a while. But you also need to bring the essentials with you as well. For a couple-hour trip, a couple of water bottles and some of your favorite snack bars should be enough. Furthermore when it comes to a longer excursion you need to plan ahead.
Every bicycle must carry a spare tire and the tools needed for basic repairs. Make sure that your kit works on your bike. You don’t want to realize that you have the wrong set of tools or even tire after you have gone 10 miles from any road. Also you should make sure to carry the following;
• Water: Guess that you will generally require a litre an hour if the weather is warm at the time of your trip, you will require less if the weather isn’t warm. You can decrease the need to carry all of it in bottles if you have help from a “camelback” plus a few bottles linked[ to your bike.
• Food: Protein bars, fruits, peanut butter crackers and Fritos ® are popular foods to take along . Everyone who cycles very hard needs to replace the calories they have burned. Fritos have the benefit of providing salt as well as calories.
• Clothing and Protection: No matter how nice the weather is when you leave, if there is any chance of precipitation, take along wet weather gear. These days you can purchase high tech fabrics that are lightweight, effective and compact. It is also necessary that you bring subscreen, making sure to use it frequently. Also use gloves, sunglasses and of course a helmet.
One final tip for your personal protection. Make sure that you bring pepper spray for your self defense. While you may never encounter any danger from other cyclists, when you head up in to the mountains, you may very well encounter other wild life and pepper spray can be a good deterrent. It could also give you plenty of time to escape if you need to.
