What are your winter training tips?
Global Mountain Bike Network eat as much turkey as possible
Eat Vegan food only!
Running
Wake up, banana and a big glass of water, half an hour ride, shower then breakfast and continue with your day. Can do it every work day and have more "fun" rides with mates all weekend
Turbo trainer setup and a gcn training video 👍
The only tip I remember is: Have a piece of cake
Blake is my favourite hero here
Yeah, and I love his green Nukeproof!
@@speed2live me too
speed2live Blake’s bike is the DREAM
No the best bike is the Devinci Wilson
@@gormtech2356 The best bike is the one you ride the most.
Here in New Zealand when it was winter for us, I got up and rode from Wednesday to Friday every morning to school, each time I motivated myself to get to school before 8:40 am, this kept me fit throughout the weeks.
A quality video with quality people! Very inspiring! Love it!
Just watching you guys make these efforts is inspiring me to keep pedaling through this winter. Awesome video
Blake getting excited about S.M.A.R.T before he’s even heard what it means. Bless him.
I can really appreciate a lady who enjoys T.I.T.S. as well.
Another great video with Oli. More Oli please......
m8 your winter is like my summer here in Canada.. making this hilarious to watch
Dito.
Nessman David yes it is, it’s -35 where I am rn
Nessman David from Minneapolis and it’s been pretty rideable this year but cold and really snowy this year!
I live in Vancouver so we got it easy
Move to England during the winter , problem solved..lol
Motivation is the hardest one. Can be the weather or others reasons like having to wash the bike, cost, etc... i bought a smart trainer with a subscription to Zwift to my wife ... trained 2x per week and ... and blast it ! Simply amazing. After a month, she can keep pace with me.
Top tips. More Oli please! :-)
Thanks great video. Already knew about the S.M.A.R.T targets before from work. However the video reminded me that to take this into sports training in my private live also would be crutial. I am one of the guys with high targets that I am normally not able to fulfill, resulting in some weeks with with demotivating results. I will change my sports targets to more realistic ones that I can consistently fulfill.
I snowboard December through March and Mountain bike April through November both keep me in shape for each one. Been doing it for years.
I'm about to do my first Enduro at Sea Otter. This was very helpful even though I can ride here in CA year-round, I think that structure helps it seem like a less daunting event. I do like Oli because I think he seems very organized about his approaches to performance.
I get excited listening just seeing how into the conversation Blake is...
Oli's superb and brings a wealth of real experience. GMBN lacks an XC based presenter, so give the man s job. Along with Neil, Blake and Henry that'd be all the bases covered
All great tips, thanks guys!
Thanks guys just what I needed !
Awesome vids gmbn👍
love your energy blake
I'm arizona the season just started lol. Clear skys and 60 F. Perfect weather
I live in Arizona, too, though I tend to ride either early in the morning or in the evening. That can be pretty chilly, especially 30-40°F in the morning.
Great video here! Oli is great!
Very informative thank you.
Best channel to watch some tips for Mountain bike
Blake is such a great listener and never interrupts, not even with the typical never ending mhmmm mhmm mhmm mhmm! That's amazing!
I'm getting older. Just turned 46. It's harder to balance all my responsibilities in life (job, wife, kid, hobbies, friends, family, house up keep...) and get out on the bike. This is a great sensible plan for keeping fit in the Winter.
I love that I've just got back from where they are riding, absolutely knacked and searching youtube to improve my fitness - then seeing them both blasting up a climb that nearly killed me. hahah. Time to get training
The best channel
Excellent video gents!
Nice practical advice.
Great video awesome job 👍😊🚵♀️
Love the advice. Would like to see some of bike workouts. What are their gym workouts?
Went to this bike park on the weekend a good easy ride for keeping fitness levels up (Ashton Court Nova trail)
My motivation disappeared this morning... A light dusting of snow turning to ice later and a traffic warning for slippery roads. Time for more coffee.
Amazing
Warm finger and warm toes, spend the money on good gloves and shoes!
I carry two pairs of gloves, a starting pair to warm up and keep the wind out until my fingers warm up, and then before things get sweaty swap to a lighter pair.
For your shoes, buy at least a half to one size up* (room for your toes to wiggle), through in a toe warmer, and love yourself a nice merino blend.
* I have yet to find winter/shoe boot that actually fits to size (and assume you are wearing a thicker sock).
Great video I don't feel very fit at all I'm new to mtb started properly in June last year! I find the climbs the hardest and like my heart is struggling and I have to get off I'm slightly over weight but I get out most weekends for about a 25k ride but I don't think my fitness is improving that much!! Any tips on where I may be going wrong and what I can do to improve my fitness?
Winter miles, summer smiles!
Love it, thanks!
I’m keeping up by commuting everyday and throwing in longer rides when the weather permits.. minus -40 degrees Celsius today so that’s a NO.
Wow, where do you live?
Martial
Mars ;)
Completely right: start with something that is ACHIEVABLE. The targets can ALWAYS be adjusted later.
I live in Tx, and I just started mountain biking… I’ve been riding in 100 • F, with a “feels like “ of 107 😂
It’s hard but I take the same tack you all do. “Do something”. I can’t wait til the winter when the avg temps are in the 60’s and 70’s . 😱
I need more T.I.T.S 🤣🤣🤣
Just go out and ride! I ride to get fit and for fun, don't do racing and couldn't care less about competition or records. All about feeling good and having fun for me :) Having to beat a record or achieve a set goal is the ultimate motivation killer for me.
Same here. I just love riding in nature. I don't need any extra motivation. I only need proper clothing.
Exactly. When you just love riding your bike for the fun of it you don't need goals or a plan. It just comes naturally. But I understand that not everyone's like that.
i do winter mtb to stay fit for road riding 😁.. also this looks like it was shot in summer
I'd love to see a series about one of you guys getting fitter and see how faster you shred
I've not been mountain biking for over 20 years. I've found a place about an hours drive away with different graded rides. None of them has jumps but they do increase in technicality. My bike feels really weird (a lot has changed in 20 years). Whilst not exactly measurable I'm planning on using the green, blue and red trails to improve my fitness and skills.
Specific: Eat a Twix
Measurable: Have I eaten a Twix yet or not?
Achievable: Just watch me.
Relevant: I was put on this planet to eat Twix, so, heck yeah.
Time Based: I have 30 seconds between this box set episode finishing and the next one starting. Just enough.
Pleased to be well under way with my winter training 👍
Is it possible to substitute a Twix for a Crunchie? If so, I am all in on this training regime.
During the winter I do longer fasts to improve insulin sensitivity, increases HGH naturally and reduce inflammation. Hit classes, yoga and bike 2 times a week longer rides over 2 hrs.
Andrew Rivera Started doing that exactly a year ago due to worsening health, despite loads of exercise. Fasting is easy once the breads, sugars are cut out of diet.
I had one of my best rides after breaking a 60 hour fast. Fastest overall speed and lots of PRs and a few trophies on trails I have been hammering on for years. Insulin Sensitivity and HGH increases from fasting really do improve performance.
I lost over 60 lbs 224-160 lbs in 5 months and had my best year ever.
Ride on.
Rockhead Gary that’s great! I’m on day 5 of an 11 day snake juice fast. Just did a power yoga class and accessory weights just to activate the muscles. All inflammation is gone! just retired, did yearly physical all numbers are perfect and getting ready for the Nepal enduro in April then my daughter and I are gonna trek to Everest base camp!
Andrew Rivera Nice. I decided to fix health with fasting and low carb so that I can retire. I am planning something epic.
Excellent Video 😎 I Ride Daily Year Round with Rest days ... I ride 100kmWeek CF Warden Vancouver . Im 59 😁
What fox pants are those along with what cycling shoes / pedals do you have on the Nukeproof bike as I currently run with Crankbrothers egg beaters & I’m looking for a replacement. Great tips also
Try Nukeproof Horizon for some sick pedals, if XC lightweights aren't in your future plans
Blake takes the cake! 🍰
I wish I could be doing this but there is a foot of snow and -35 degrees Celsius weather
go skiing!
Making T.I.T.S. bounce is the best way I've found to burn calories and improve fitness.
Hmm these a fancy sounding. I usually ride everywhere day cause I gotta go to the store except when we get a foot or more of snow. Its always hard when I start back up
have a winter bike safari in a warm country
1- shut up and pedal
2- nobody is going to force you to ride, you have to motivate yourself
3- real food on the ride, less bars/gels
4- see #1, repeat
the hardest part is getting out the door, after that it’s all smiles
What you prefered whend you ride, flat pedal or clip pedal ?
Nicee bike scott
Have you guys made an episode on Zwift and mountain biking?
Where are you biking in the winter and looks like this? Tips for people in Canada where 12 feet of snow is the norm? Trails typically are mud from the melting snow in to May or later even.
I love riding in the winter, nobody else about to bug me
What is that fender that Blake has on his fork?
Anyone know what the brand of jacket Blake is wearing in this video? My kids want to get it for their dad's birthday - thanks.
Lots of mince pie and beer 🍻
It was so funny how at the start Blake passed him with his hoodie on and he looked like he was a six year old with his hoodie and his smile or
So this is winter? Looks like our summer :D
Great content :)
I live in Southampton but it’s pitch black at 3:00 and that’s when school finishes
Get a pair of lights!
Crickby 417 I do
What jacket is Blake wearing?
I decided to buy a jump bike for Indoor and pump track riding and the gym...
i wonder where this was filmed, trails look sweet.
Looks like Ashton Court near Bristol
winter in Australia is the time to ride lol. in summer its too hot.
Motivation dissolves over time, discipline and sheer will don't.
Where I live winter training is easy, the problem is riding with 40° in summer
Same. Australia
Don't use AC at home or in the car and when it's hot and you get going it isn't that bad. Rural QLD for me so it gets cooking
Cycle up hills, cycle up more hills and finish off by cycling up some more hills!
It's all uphill from here.
I live in South Africa and it is summer now and around 35 degrees Celsius do you have any tips for staying cool while riding?
I live in Hong Kong and this is a perpetual problem. I have taken a tip from the roadies and do the fitted tops and tri shorts (less padding so works better for me). I like the Assos jerseys for keeping me cool in the heat and humidity. I hope this helps.
what kind of bike lights in this video?
Whats classed as a long ride for a avg rider ?
One tip would be making a habit. If you haven't rode in a long time, it might be good to pick a few days a week to just start riding your bike around your neighborhood. Once a habit is born it's easier to hit the trails.
It’s hard to do these things when there’s a foot of snow on the ground
Doesn't it ever snow in the winter England/GB?!
Nice and clean in the cafe🤔
Blake’s chain looked like it was really slack and needed chain tensioner lol
Well the best thing i did was doing different types of sport like weight lifting and cardio with a changed diet with soja products including alot of vitamine b12 and iron rich groceries like spinach.
Where is that trail they are riding
I hope that one of answers is "electric bike"
[edit] damn it!
what do you mean by "recommended for you"?
What jacket is Oli wearing?
A blue one 😂
How long is a long ride?
Ollie seems like the polar opposite to Blake. Think I know who I'd prefer to shred with
To be fair, UK winter looks more like summer to me *looking out the window at 30cm of snow and ice, going back to the sofa*
how does beer fit in this program? Desperately in need of advice :)
Drink wine, less bloat and you get pissed quicker 😂
Asking for a friend
Yo!!! What mud guard is on Blake’s Nukeproof?! That is wicked!
You don't need a mud guard.
@fernando ronaldo False.
@fernando ronaldo Wise words.
You don’t need one, but it is nice ripping through muddy, super sandy rocks or w/e sections without it kicking up all over your face.
And anywhere from 10-20 USD for one, why not
Who has a solution? #askGMBN i'm making a MTB obstacle. The surface is a wood sheet of multiplex, how do i make the surface grippy?
Carpet? Paint with sand? Skateboardgrip?
Thanks for any help.
Have you guys been to Canada on a Winter..
Its getting dark at 16:00, i finish job at 17:00, theres 30cm of snow/mud. Nearest trails are 100km away. How about some tips for me?
Build a backyard trail!
Caching with Azzo7777 that would be cool :)
Important also : Strength training, go running,indoorclimbing, only biking creates dysbalances!!!!!
Blake has new tyres
Can you guys do something like this but for the gym? I don't really want to cycle through 6ft of snow
Edit: and without a smart trainer at home
They have done quite a few of those videos. czcams.com/users/results?search_query=GMBN+Gym
i ride for about 24 hours a week and i ride up and down my steep road, but my friends still beat me. i started riding in August last year but still, im getting nowhere
