Mountain Bike Holidays Preparation Is Vital For Success

Summer has come round yet again and it’s time to consider the family summer holiday if you haven’t already before and you therefore come to the decision that a mountain bike holiday is a great plan. The kids are all excited and your wife decides that it might be a good idea after all. At least this way with a mountain bike break, she decides that she may actually get to spend some time with you at least.

You stuff the back of the car with the children and help your wife settle into the front seat. You then quickly go back inside to collect all the bags that have been stuffed with whatever clothes and equipment has been collected from around the house and throw them too into the back of the boot.

You dig the bikes out the garage and mount them on the roof rack, run round to the driver’s door, get in and set off.

Is this right? – The short answer is of course, no, it isn’t. It can be said that mountain bike vacations could do with a little more time setting-up beforehand.

Firstly, it’s important to remember that mountain bike riding isn’t just a case of hopping on and pedalling off. The bikes themselves need lots of careful preparation and maintenance before a holiday like this. Without it, the bikes may be dangerous to use, especially if they’ve been sat in the garage for long periods of time. Who knows what condition the mountain bike is in after long periods of time sat in the garage. Like all machines, if they are left for too long they can begin to seize-up and suffer from rusty moving parts. It makes great sense to make sure that the mountain bikes are not rusted up and that the moving parts are loose and well oiled. Parents must take responsibility for their children’s safety by ensuring that the mountain bike they will each be riding is safe to use and won’t be the cause of unnecessary accidents.

It is also vital that other kit such as puncture repair equipment is packed to include spare inner tubes, patches and of course a bicycle pump. Water bottles that are easily mounted on the mountain bike frame are essential, as well as spare water containers that can be carried in backpacks. Other emergency supplies could include spare bulbs and batteries for bike lights and head torches.
