So it’s the beginning of the summer mountain bike trail season and rather than disappear for days on end with your mountain bike, you decide it would be a good idea to take the family. This makes the children happy and your wife also believes it to be a good plan. At least this way with a mountain bike break, she decides that she may actually get to spend some time with you at least.

You throw the kids in the back of the car whilst your wife settles herself in the passenger seat. You then quickly go back inside to collect all the bags that have been stuffed with whatever clothes and equipment has been collected from around the house and throw them too into the back of the boot.

After finding the mountain bikes in the shed, you attempt to attach them to the roof of the car before getting into the driver’s seat and setting off.
Should it really be like this – well no. Mountain bike holidays need a little more preparation than that if they are to be successful.

Firstly, it’s important to remember that mountain bike riding isn’t just a case of hopping on and pedalling off. The bikes themselves need lots of careful preparation and maintenance before a holiday like this. Without it, the bikes may be dangerous to use, especially if they’ve been sat in the garage for long periods of time. Who knows what condition the mountain bike is in after long periods of time sat in the garage. Like all machines, if they are left for too long they can begin to seize-up and suffer from rusty moving parts. It makes great sense to make sure that the mountain bikes are not rusted up and that the moving parts are loose and well oiled. Parents must take responsibility for their children’s safety by ensuring that the mountain bike they will each be riding is safe to use and won’t be the cause of unnecessary accidents.

It is truly important to make sure that the you pack a spare tyre inner tube and some puncture repair equipment and a small tool set to enable you to change and repair tyres. Make sure that your have enough water bottles because water supply is really important to the riders on a mountain bike trip. Other emergency supplies could include spare bulbs and batteries for bike lights and head torches.
