We’re pulling back the curtain on what it really takes to keep the GLOW stoke alive. 💫 It’s more than just a Thursday night ride…

✨ How GLOW MTB started

✨ How it grew from bikes to skis, hikes & more

✨ The events, swag, and stoke

✨ Staying true to our mission without burning out

Plus! We share our favorite rides (or lack thereof 😅), seasonal feels (longer days FTW), and why we keep showing up for this amazing community.

🔥 Trail Network Shoutout: Musquash Conservation Area in Londonderry, NH is managed by the Londonderry Conservation Commission the area includes an extensive marked 20+ miles trail system. 

There is a little something for everyone, but it is mostly moderately difficult cross country terrain. It doesn’t have extended climbing but there are some short punchy stuff.

Favorite trails - Rip it up on Deer and Porcupine Ridge loops and shoot over to Piper’s for some rocky sections.  Heron is a nice, long trail that provides decent challenges. Go to Trivial Pursuit, Whaddya Think and Three Sisters for solid twisty, beautiful NH singletrack and White and Shoots and Ladders for slightly more challenging terrain.

🍔 afterGLOW Refuel Options:

• 603 Brewery and Beer Hall, 
• Kelsen Brewing Company,

Let’s face it—falls happen. But did you know you can actually get better at bailing? In this episode, we break down key techniques to minimize trauma when things don’t go as planned. From riding within your limits to practicing exit strategies, we cover how to fall smarter and get back on the bike.

Some tips we dive into:

✅ Ride within your wheelhouse & take breaks when tired

✅ Keep your bike & gear in top shape

✅ Wear protective gear—helmet, pads, gloves, sunglasses

✅ Learn exit techniques like the North Shore dismount, tuck & roll, and how to ditch your bike safely

Oh, and when in doubt… dance it out! 💃 

🔥 Trail Network Shoutout: Pine Hill Park in Rutland, VT home of Cold Rolled Fat Bike Festival! With 18 miles of singletrack, it’s a great spot to ride early in the season. Steward by Pine Hill Partnership, a non-profit run by volunteers. Don’t forget to tip the Tin Man when visiting!

In this episode, Anna, Janet and Juli share with you the things we often think we absolutely must have, but in reality, you don’t actually need. It's so easy to get wrapped up in the latest and greatest gidgets and gadgets and then we think we need them, we MUST have them, but we are here to admit we probably don’t and remind you that neither do you.

In this episode, Anna, Janet and Juli talk about riding as we age!  We were fortunate to have a really inspirational panel of guests join us to share their secret sauce that keeps them on the trails decade after decade. These ladies are the real Queens of our sport!  

Julie T. “Tumble Down Tilden” age 79

Jill C. age 70

Lisa T. age 68

Kim W. age 64

These ladies have been riding since the 90s and share with other us how to enjoy the ride as we age. We hope you enjoy this conversation, and I think we can all agree that MTBing keeps you young! If you are wondering if you are too old to start mountain biking- we think you can’t be too old to NOT start mountain biking. Get out there!
