What to bring mountain biking 👇

Save this checklist to remember what you’ll need for the trail!

While mountain biking can be an expensive hobby, I was excited to discover ways I could save money by using gear I already owned from other outdoorsy activities.

Highly recommend getting creative! For example, I already owned a helmet, sunglasses, bike shorts, exercise tops, trail running shoes, a hydration pack, and a small bike bag.

The most expensive item is probably going to be the mountain bike itself. But you can rent a bike, buy used, or go for a relatively affordable option like the Tempt 1 🙌

What’s an item you already own that could be used for mountain biking?! Tell me about it in the comments!

life update + a re-intro 👋

🌿 Hi, I’m Kate!

I’m an outdoor lover based in Boulder, Colorado who’s passionate about keeping movement a priority - whether it’s a slow morning run, a weekend hike, skiing, climbing, biking, or even just walking my dog around the neighborhood!

I’ve learned movement is essential for both my physical and mental health. I’m pretty uncompetitive with myself & others when it comes to my outdoorsy hobbies & movement - it simply brings me joy, and I prefer to celebrate just getting out there 🤘

On this page, you’ll find:
✨ Colorado adventures & local recs
✨ Outdoor adventures, travel + wellness inspo
✨ Balancing full-time work & daily movement

And here’s the life update → after a couple of years away, I’ll be returning to the classroom this fall as a middle school teacher and volleyball coach! ✨ I’ll share more soon, but I’m so grateful to have found a dream school that values relationships, small class sizes, restorative practices, arts and creativity, & getting students outdoors!

Just as always, I’ll be here sharing outdoorsy tips, real-life movement, and all the ways we can keep wild - no matter how busy life gets! Feel free to say hey & follow along 🌞
