decided to enter my first mtb race/need advice
I decided to enter my first moutain bike race. The race is not until the
end of May so I have a good three months to polish my act up. My current ride is kind of crap. A specialized I got back in '99 but have since added front shocks to, new pedals, derailleur, cassette, and a few other parts that I may be forgetting(seat post, saddle? can't quite remember). I just had and still have a bit of sentimental attachment on the beast and haven't gone about getting a new ride yet in deference to it. Anyway, I figure it should be ok for my first race anyway so that isn't my biggest concern. Besides the basics of a helmet and maybe some riding gloves any other recommeneded equipment. What sort of helmet is recommended? The one I have right now is decent but not the studiest one around. Any other equipment recommendations? I am decent enough shape having been hitting the gym over the long cold winter but seeing as I have 3 months or so does anyone have any endurance building advice that fits in with the fact that its going to be pretty damn cold in my location for the next month or two? -- rec.bicycles.off-road is moderated by volunteers.
