Here are a few items specific to mountain biking National.
1. Full Face Helmet
I’m definitely glad to have my Bell Super DH full-face helmet on National. Sure, it’s annoying to have a chin bar on the climbs, but a full-face makes me feel more confident on the way back down.

2. Hydration Pack
Do not underestimate how much water and snacks you’ll need on your ride. Bring a hydration pack filled with at least 3L of water.

3. SaltStick Tabs
If you’re pedaling in hot temps, these SaltStick tabs are lifesavers. They help with staying hydrated, maintaining endurance, and preventing bonking. I love them!
