Mountain Biking
Ever wondered what it feels like to dance, fly, run, and surf at the same time? That's mountain biking. With amazing bike technology and a huge emphasis on trail building, we are truly living in mountain biking's heyday. Here are some of my favorite pieces to get you out and into your best flow state.

Betsy is a journalist and mountain athlete. She lives in Carbondale, Colorado where she explores singletrack, gravel roads, and the natural world by foot and bike. After five years as a cycling journalist for Outside Inc., she has a wealth of knowledge about the best places in the world to ride (as well as eat, drink, and explore off the bike). She has guided for Wilderness Voyageurs, the Cyclist's Menu, and Aspen Cycling Tours and speaks Spanish fluently. Betsy is an avid — as well as responsible and thoughtful — traveler; however, she's also a sucker for an ill-advised adventure.
