Must-have Equipment:
Mountain bike with gears and hand brakes. Tires need to be knobby for dirt trail traction.
Proper fitting helmet. Helmets must stay snug during riding.
Gloves. Hands tend to get sweaty, and full-finger gloves protect against slipping on the grips and any chances of falling and scraping hands and fingers.
Glasses for eye protection. The trail is full of bugs, dust, and low-hanging branches that may hit the face during riding; hence, eye protection is mandatory.
Cycling water bottle and water bottle cage or hydration backpack
