Muddychain.com was designed so beginners to mountain biking can learn how to buy a mountain bike, how to ride, and how to repair a mountain bike. Muddychain is unique because we focus solely on the beginner.

Mountain biking can be a relatively cheap, fun, and safe sport. If you do not own a mountain bike, rent one from your local bike store.  As a beginner they will be your best resource as you learn how to mountain bike.

Mountain biking is a sport that nearly everyone wants to try, and it is becoming an increasingly safe and cheap sport as the top bike manufacturers continue to improve the quality of the mountain bikes they sell so you get a better bike. Since the beginning of mountain biking, when Gary Fisher and some friends rode their slightly modified 'clunker' bikes down a mountain path many changes have been made to the equipment available. The leading bike manufacturers continue to innovate, making your rides smoother, easier and more enjoyable. With the increased awareness about mountain biking resulting in more trails, and the better equipment, mountain biking has never been easier for beginners. Try mountain biking, even as a beginner you'll have a good time.

You can improve your endurance and build muscle by supplementing your rides and workouts with Torch preburn before you ride to give your body a boost and Torch afterburn after you ride to give your body all the proteins and amino acids it needs to build muscle and reduce soreness after you ride.
