No way!

So how do we do that?

By giving premium tips, guides, training advice and mental hacks that help you increase your skill.

Not sure what cadence is or what it has to do with mountain biking? We cover that.

What about how often you should eat on an endurance ride? Yep, we have that too.

Who Is Shawn McAfee?

 

I have been in and around competitive cycling for nearly 10 years. I spent my college years competing with the UNT Triathlon Club and riding road bikes. After getting fed up with running I stuck to my bike and just rode until I couldn’t stand another mile of pavement.

That is when my life changed. I bought a Felt Q620 mountain bike, the first mountain bike I had owned since I was 13. I began riding, racing and documenting every trail and tactic along the way. I’m now on a new mountain bike, a Giant Anthem X29er and have ridden thousands of miles. My passion has finally been uncovered. It was always there, it was just under the trees and racing the sun on smooth hard-packed singletrack.

“I believe that life is an adventure best experienced on two wheels.

Unfortunately we can’t always be on our bikes, but I hope to inspire others to begin mountain biking and to fall as deeply in love with it as I have.”

Now, I want to share what I have learned with you through Texas Mountain Bike Trails. To make you a better rider, and to spread the passion for mountain biking from one person to another.

I can definitely say I am not a pro rider, nor semi pro, not even a pro wanna-be. I’m just an average guy with an incredible passion for bicycles.
