MOUNTAIN BIKING

Become a better tri biker by hitting the trails this off-season and developing some serious skills

Keeping your cycling legs moving also offers brilliant cardiovascular fitness and allows you to get off the beaten track and explore the country. “What I love about mountain biking is the opportunity it’s given me to explore the world,” says former pro Oil Munnik and eight-time Cape Epic finisher, “introducing me to hundreds of like-minded people who share a similar love for the outdoors.”
