Why riding indoors during the winter is the key to unlocking your mountain biking potential, elevating your skills, and jump-starting your riding for next spring.
With the winter months soon upon us, the outdoor riding season will soon wrap up here in Southern Ontario. Fortunately, we have access to an incredible facility called Joyride 150 Indoor Bike Park.
Don't let all that hard work and progression you created this season go to waste by letting your skills rust. Incorporating regular sessions at Joyride 150 Indoor Bike Park provides many benefits for mountain bikers, ensuring you maintain your skills, fitness, and connection to the biking community throughout the winter.
Riding at an indoor bike park during the winter months offers mountain bikers several key benefits:
Skill Maintenance & Progression:
A lack of riding and extended breaks from your mountain bike over the winter months can cause skills regression. An indoor bike park allows you to ride on various obstacles, features, and stations that will help you maintain your skills and offer varying challenges to continue your skill progression.
Controlled Environment:
Unlike riding the trails outdoors, indoor bike parks offer controlled conditions, ensuring riders can practice without worrying about mud, snow, and ice. This gives ample opportunity to challenge and refine your skills and techniques while changing only one variable at a time.
Progressive Obstacles & Features:
Indoor bike parks are typically designed to be progressive, meaning there's something for all skill levels. This allows riders to choose the obstacles and features that suit their skill level and warm up to more challenging options.
Physical Fitness:
Riding indoors differs from outdoors because you will cover less ground. However, you will still build and maintain your riding fitness.
Community & Fun:
Don't let the winter months keep you isolated from fun community activities. Call your riding buddies and continue your regular riding schedule; just meet indoors instead.
It's Beginner Friendly Too!
For newer riders, an indoor bike park offers a non-intimidating and safer way to learn new skills and get lots of practice before tackling the challenges of hilly terrain, trees, obstacles, and navigating the trails.
So don't let all your hard work this summer go to waste! Join us for one of our upcoming indoor classes at Joyride 150 Indoor Bike Park this winter.
