Mountain Biking (Trail Blazers)

Yeah, Just gonna hit it each night little by little and try build my asthmatic resiliance/fitness back up. Coupled with walking my puppy each night, so will constantly be trying to build on it. Looking forward to get...

I like many others have had to deal with the dreaded complaint all my life and for a good while cheated on the preventer medication it leaves you with limited options . So at the end of the day there are limitations b...

Hey Carl, 3 little words...don't give up.  This was me around 5 years ago, pushed it too hard on a MTB trail and induced a full blown attack.  Fast forward 5 years and I am virtually asthma free and can manage 35k MT...

I've just decided to get back on the bike after about 18 years and make use of the great trails near my new home. Only to be cut a bit short by my asthma, so I've created a Tribe for any tips and experiences for other people that may suffer/deal w...

Maybe try one of the local blogs for good ideas on destinations:   The locals are probably the best source and checking out what they're chatting about online can reveal some good results.

I've been so focused lately on marathon training and have had relatively little time in the saddle, but now my first endurance ride of the year has crept up on me.  All the running has certainly helped my cardio, but there's no subsitiute for gett...

Outstanding!  You won't regret it.  So, have you decided on a specific bike to break your cherry or are you still evaluating? ;)

Hi folk - new in town and new to MTB (I'll be picking up my first bike in over 15 years prety soon) and can't wait to hit the hills! 

I took the mountain bike out for he first time this year last weekend.  It was incredibly muddy, had to get off and push sometimes but well worth the effort.  All I say is compression gear, good gloves and plenty of hot water when I get home!

I'm so sick of all the rain lately!  Before all this started, I had a great ride at another wonderful destination in Maryland:  Patapsco Valley State Park.  http://www.bikekinetix.com/t_md/md_state/patapsco.php  

The trails here are very well mai...

Yes, I miss living in that type of climate.  Right now my workouts are primarily running.  I even entered a marathon scheduled for this March to ensure I'd maintain my cardio fitness throughout the winter.  That has worked well for me, I think, bu...
