Riding into 2013

So 2012 is winding down, holidays are here and after next week it will pretty much be the new years. Its the best time to ride, sun comes up early, its warm, holidays and you have time on your hands. 

If you have entered for the big races in the beginning of next year then this is perfect training time to clock some proper miles. If you are taking it easy its the ideal time to hit some trails new and old, discover some new routes.

2013 promises to be another huge year for mountain biking in SA. ABSA Cape Epic has its 10th edition, an amazing achievement and August sees MTB world champs taking place in Pietermaritzburg KZN. Plus there are all the other races on the calendar that will keep you honest and on your bike.

It is the silly season, time to spend all your hard earned cash. What would be even more silly would be to waste time and loose out on valuable riding time in the process. So our answer is to make it short and sweet, get your stuff online and then get out on your bike.

At our bookshop you will find the best MTB books available so you can learn how to train properly, fix your bike and learn some essential MTB skills. Our pick of the bunch are the TOP MTB trails book to take you to some new places during the holidays and the Joe Friel Paleo Diet for athletes to get you lean and strong for 2013.

The other essential tool for the holiday riding is a GPS so that you can explore some new trails and make sure you find your way back again. The Garmin Edge 800 bike GPS will be ideal for this.
