#21 - Squamish Enduro | Voice of the People - The Mental Side of Mountain Bike Racing
May 31, 2023 Season 2 Episode 21

A few weeks ago we headed back out to the trails for the 2023 Squamish Enduro to find out more about the perceptions, mental tools, and challenges that riders face during Enduro Races here in BC.

Listen in as we gain a broad perspective from a mixed bag of riders including pro racers all the way down to your everyday enthusiasts.

We received a range of interesting and entertaining answers on the following topics - 

  • Pre-race preparation
  • How to stay focused during a long, hot, and technical multi-stage race
  • What percentage of Mountain Biking is mental
  • What does mental toughness mean

And, for an added laugh you can hear out bonus question of the day which was: “If you had to choose between your post-race meal or your post-race beer - what would it be?” 

Tough one, I know!
