MOUNTAIN BIKING TIPS


1-Find out about the trail and surroundings, be sure that you have enough time to complete the entire route before darkness falls. Do not stray off the path. A compass would be handy, just in case.

2-Use good judgment regarding the fitness level required for the trail, and know your physical limits.


3-Always let someone know of your plans and destination for the day, especially if going alone.

4-Bring enough water and pack some light snacks to keep energy level up. Unless biking with a knowledgeable partner, it is not advisable to eat jungle fruit or drink from any water source.


5-Be prepared for sudden rain showers by carrying appropriate rain gear.

6-Always check your bike before starting out. Pay special attention to tyres, which can damage more easily due to the rough terrain.


7-If you wish to camp overnight as part of your biking expedition, read the ‘Camping’ section under ‘Jungle Discoveries’ for camping tips.
