MOUNTAIN BIKE TIPS

Repair Kit: Pack the following: chain repair tool, tire pump, flat repair kit, tube injection fluid, small crescent wrench, universal tool, mini flashlight, spoke tool, matches, pocket knife, cell-phone and map. Breakdowns can ruin your day.

Helmet: Falls happen. Never bike without a helmet and make sure your helmet meets or exceeds the ANSI Z 90.4 industry standards.

First-Aid Kit: A fanny pack-sized first-aid kit is smart. At some point, you will need one. Include tweezers and plastic comb (for cactus spine removal) and a snake-bite kit.

Water: Take more than you need and include a water treatment kit for emergencies.

Right of Way: Hikers and horses have the right of way. Exercise caution when approaching horses---they spook easily.

Buddy-up: Never bike alone. If you must, make others aware of your itinerary.

Speed: It is difficult to hear oncoming traffic. Watch your speed around curves and on downhill sections of trails.

Weather: Summer thunderstorms can cause flooding and severe drops in temperature. Always dress or pack in layers.
