Teriffic article from Flow Mountain Bike. If you've ridden a mountain bike anywhere, have a read. And have a think about what small (or big!) thing you can do to help support your local club, or the places you love to visit.

Mountain bike clubs advocate for trails, run dig days, put on events, organise junior programs and so much more.

Club committee members are all volunteers with jobs, families and a life outside of the mountain bike club, and when member burnout hits, it can be catastrophic for the riding community.

We caught up with clubs from across the country to find out how they manage the workload and keep the proverbial train on its tracks.

Big shoutout to all the volunteers out there getting it done. Full story at the link in comments 🔗

How's your t-shirt situation?! If you fancy a fresh one to celebrate this lovely warmer weather, I'm putting in another merch order! 🥳

Check out the merch page on the website! There's tees, there's hoodies, there's stickers (get a couple of your favourites free with any order, yay!), there's 100% pre-shrunk responsibly manufactured cotton, there's supporting the work I do with a portion of each order, there's feeling pumped about what your own mind and body can do with you as their well-dressed guide!! 🧠💚

Get your order in by the end of Sunday!

Each item is custom printed here in Newy and and will be ready about three weeks. (Sometimes sooner if the printing gods are smiling extra big smiles!) 🤩

Hi Everyone! So I feel I've reached a new level of naff with my Canva skills (!!) but where I have been putting my energy lately is in updating the Intelligent Action website.

And coming up with an updated format for online coaching that offers more of what riders want, uses my own time and skills to give you the maximium benefit during the sessions themselves, and keeps things fun and productive at the same time:

Hello Brain Tune-Ups! 🧠💚

If you're new to following along, or you've been following for a while, here's some more info about what it is that I do, and how working through some of your riding challenges away from the trails can be the thing that radically improves your riding next time you're on the trails!

There's more info on the website. Get in touch if you have any questions! 👋🏻

Roll call! Who's in?!?! Join and myself for a social ride around some favourite trails at Glenrock. This Saturday at 9am, meeting at the Gun Club Road trailhead (this is the main one, cnr of Gun Club Rd and Fernleigh Loop). 🚵‍♀🚵‍♀🚵‍♀🚵‍♀🚵‍♀💫

Aiming for a two-hour ride. We'll cater to the skill level of the group. Bring snacks, water, happy-joyful-friendliness and all your ride essentials in good working order. There is no tap or toilet at the trailhead

Any pre-ride questions, contact the wonderful Ali at . She has your answer!

During the ride, feel free to ask us all your other questions as we enjoy Glenrock's amazing Glenrockness!

Laura can tell you about how to get more involved with our local club, .1, events, rides and trailwork at other fave locations. 🚵💛

Ali is has heaps she can share about women's health and physical skills sessions, on and off the bike. 💃💜

And ask me ( / ) any and all braining and biking questions - like something to keep in mind for the trail ahead that will help you ride it even better! 🧠💚

Super looking foward to seeing you there! 👋

*If you can't make it on Saturday, Ali's hosting some other rides too. See the second image!

Off bike life impacting your on bike life? 😫

Sharing some strategies that I’m drawing on during a particularly stressful week and a little bit about how our skills are variable. This means there are lots of things you can do to bring them back to where you want them to be, and to keep riding making you feel good when they’re not!

High chance I’ll miss this weekend’s HMBA Hunter Mountain Bikes GFlow enduro at Dungog but sending tonnes of smooth, fast and fun riding vibes to everyone who’s there! 🚵🎉

Some good news on the personal front is a wonderful corner has been turned and I’m looking forward to enjoying more of all fun things again soon! 🥰

When I created the Cues Course, I worked hard to include examples and descriptions that work for riders at all levels in the sport. This is something I used to do when teaching at universities, as the experience of everyone in each class varied so much.

I believe, as a teacher, that if you can encourage people to tap into, and build on their own experience, and genuinely feel that you're talking to them as much as everyone else, the outcomes are so much more relevant, personalised, exciting, and genuinely motivating. For me and for everyone!

Here's some recent feedback that made my day! 🥹 I can't overstate how much I love hearing people's energy for these topics and how exciting it is to see how learning MTB mental skills alongside physical MTB skills turbo-boosts people's riding experiences. 🚵🥳

This kind of response is why I made the course - not for me, but to see more people enjoy riding even more. 💚💚💚

If you're wondering if the course is also for you, check the website (https://learn.intelligentaction.cc/course/mind-skills-for-mountain-bikers-mastering-cues-for-riding-well-under-pressure) or reach out if you have any questions! 👋🏻
