Henderson 'content' knowing her epic reign will not last forever

Rebecca Henderson has won 13 elite national mountain bike cross-country titles in a row and, this season, is unbeaten in the UCI Oceania Continental series, which concludes this weekend at the Cairns Rainforest Rumble.

The subject of land access & the rapid rise of #eMTB performance metrics deserved expert voices.

We gathered the views of the International Mountain Biking Association, #MTB guide & trail stewards & CyclingUK's former off-road advisor Kieran Foster.

Each raised concerns & all are currently involved in live access conversations. That should give major pause for thought for the entire #mountainbike industry.

Are we risking the future of #mountainbiking for quick sales?

The Radavist Podcast Episode 03: Wende Cragg and the Birth of Mountain Biking

We're stoked to share an interview with Wende Cragg, a legend of mountain biking history, for Episode 03 of The Radavist Podcast! Wende Cragg played an indelible role in the formation of the sport we now call mountain biking. The sport, now sophisticated by suspension, featherweight frame materials, and ever-changing standards, started with the radical desire to ride off road. And although Wende was there in the early days of pushing the potential of fat-tire bikes on the fire roads and singletrack surrounding Marin County, as a photographer, her presence in the sport's archives has been less visible.

Remote Work and Drum Cicles! Started off the week at Encanto Park for some drumming, then took off to camp at McDowell Mountain park to get some training rides in. It began raining Tuesday night, so naturally, I did a run in the rain on Wednesday morning on the Escondido trail. It was glorious.

In the spring Cycling Electric magazine we've dedicated a significant portion to testing do-it-all electric mountain bikes.

We are long past the days of jack-of-all-trades setups being awkward to ride in both an urban & a cross-country setting.
