Any Mountain Bikers here? Just ordered my first bike and super excited to try it out in the Colorado foothills. Any must have gear I should be looking to get? I already cycle (gravel/road) so have some stuff.

What bike did you get?? Don’t hold out on us!

Sweet!!

Shoei or Arai full face off road motorcycle helmets. They are expensive, but worth it. I crashed hard in a downhill trail, hit my head on a rock and the helmet showed only a small ding on the side, ems said they normally see mountain bike helmets crack open. Make sure it is not used, and manufacture date in the last 5 years. Helmets (un-crashed) are only good for 5 years so make sure to keep track.

Shoes, gloves, consider a full face helmet if you have any intention of going hard

You probably already have a setup for this, but make sure you have replacement tubes, a way to inflate, tire levers, etc. I was so used to that kit already being on my road bike that I didn’t realize I’d forgotten to put it on my MTB the first couple rides.

Most fun you’ll have on a bike. Gloves for sure. Assuming it’s an xc bike coming from the roads. Highly recommend starting with flat pedals and getting handling down before going clipless

Plenty of snacks if you smoke doobies

Back when I was getting started in the food world, I worked flipping burgers at In-n-Out. A man came in and said the burgers he had gotten weren’t right. He dumped the food on the counter and then he started throwing them back behind the counter. We gave him a refund and then his demeanor completely changed. He was calmer and he told us to have a great day as he left us to clean up the mess he made.
