New Year - New You in 2023

Motivation, January 05, 2023

Whenever a new year comes around it is common to reflect on the previous year and make goals, resolutions and plan for the year to come.

When it comes to mountain biking goals and plans, it can get complicated creating a plan reach your goals. Choosing which events or riding vacations to sign up for. Deciding on a new bike or upgrades for your bike to match the type of riding you will be doing. On top of that is preparing your body and mind for these exciting events. 

The process of training to succeed in accomplishing your goals and enjoy your events can be very complicated and overwhelming for someone without a background in exercise science. 

If you are reading this and questioning if your 2023 riding goals are attainable and if you will be able to reach them. I have a few articles that will help you get some insight and direction as you start your journey to progressing on your bike in 2023.

The first article, I wrote last year at this time about making sure your goals mean something to you. Simply, you want to be excited about the goal. Click below to check it out.
