If you could change ONE thing about mountain biking, what would it be?

In this episode, we dream up a better MTB world and tackle everything from the cost of getting started to getting more girls on bikes, creating welcoming trail communities, and building the kinds of trail systems we all want to ride.

We chat about:
 💰 Lowering barriers to entry and making mountain biking more affordable
 👧 Getting more girls and women involved in the sport
 🤝 Eliminating gatekeeping and creating a more welcoming culture
 🌲 Trail stewardship, volunteerism, and giving back
 🚴 Building progression parks, adaptive trails, and better trail signage
 🌟 Recognizing community leaders, mentors, and volunteers alongside racers

Plus our latest ride highlights, lessons learned, and a reminder that many of these positive changes are already happening through local clubs and volunteers.

💡 The big takeaway? Mountain biking becomes better when we all take ownership of the culture we want to create.

📍 Trail System Shout-Out: Keene, NH
 From the flowy trails of Food Network and Stonewall Farm to the views at Beech Hill Preserve, Keene offers something for every rider. Add in a vibrant downtown, great food, bike paths, and a thriving cycling community, and it's easy to see why we keep coming back.
