  • Beginning Mountain Bike Racing in the Tricities TN/VA: Sweat and Gear Without Fear
    Natasha Snyder [email protected] Beginning Mountain Bike Racing in the TriCities TN/VA: Sweat and Gear without Fear Natasha Snyder <[email protected]> Author Natasha Snyder and her beloved racing steed on a 35 mile training ride. Alvarado Station Store, Creeper Trail, Abingdon, VA. Natasha is a retired mountain bike racer from Bristol TN who specialized in cross country and cyclocross, with several trophy finishes. Natasha Snyder [email protected] The world of mountain bike racing is exciting, exhausting, varied—and accessible. If you are a competent mountain biking enthusiast who has mastered basic riding skills and built a decent level of fitness, you may be ready to explore the next step: the local racing circuit. With some readily available equipment and determination, you could begin collecting trophies in no time. Most adults who purchase a mountain bikes are simply recreational riders, looking to enjoy a comfortable, ecologically-sound, human-powered ride around their neighborhood or perhaps a quick ride to the beach during vacations. After all, mountain bikes are stylistically diverse, slower and safer than motorcycles, and more comfortable than skinny road bicycles. However, sometimes a casual rider becomes a true “enthusiast,” which is what people involved in bicycle racing call those who are more than recreational riders, but not quite elite athletes. Once the desire to go fast surpasses the desire to arrive home clean and comfortable, the time may have arrived for you to consider preparing to enter a local or amateur mountain bike race here in the Tri Cities and surrounding region.

  • The Proposal
    THE PROPOSAL INTRODUCTION The Mountain Biking Explosion The exponential growth of recreational and sporting off road mountain bike riding is worldwide. Both cross country and Downhill Mountain Biking are established as Olympic events; the demand will con- tinue to increase. Locally The Hong Kong Magazine for August carried an article on mountain biking in Hong Kong, which only further fuels demand. Companies recruiting expatriates cite mountain biking and refer candidates to the HKMBA website as evidence that Hong Kong is a “cool” city to live. And in the latest Action Asia magazine there are three separate articles about mountain biking. Mountain Biking is a growing sport across the world, the bicycle industry in 2008 in the USA is a $6 billion industry, includ- ing the retail value of bicycles, related parts, and accessories according to research funded by the USA National Sporting Goods Association. Ironically the majority of bicycles, components and accessories are manufactured in China, and in Taiwan and Japan. Hong Kong’s bike shops are amongst the best in the world, when a new bike or component is manufac- tured it is usual to find it in a Hong Kong bike shop ahead of anywhere else. This is because most bikes and components are manufactured within the region and the Hong Kong bicycle enthusiast is one of the most discerning. Bicycle shops in other countries tend to carry minimum stock and will custom order Unfortunately for mountain biking cycling in the country parks falls under the authority of the AFCD. depending on requests by individual customers; recently online retailers overseas have filled this void by Whilst AFCD is no doubt qualified to fulfil their other responsibilities in the area of recreational use of offering huge catalogues and overnight delivery.
