8 things to to this year.

Have a go at something different? Here's a list of 8 things to do this year to help you see riding in a whole new light.
1. Bike swap:
Find a willing partner among our CTS buddies to swap bikes with. Riding someone else's bike is a great way of making you appreciate your own bike or to find out you need a new one. Choose someone with a similar sized frame.

2. Explore new trails:
Try riding some place you have only heard about. You might be amazed at what stuff lies out there in Ontario.

3. Seek help:
For the price of a pair of tires you can book yourself on a skills day and get a genuine, significant improvement to your riding.

4. Buckwallow:
We all have to go to Buckwallow at least once a year. I missed going in June of 2010 and I'm still not over it.

5. Get involved:
Give back to the mountain biking world. Come out for Midland Bike to work day, May 20th 2011 and make sure mountain bikers have a voice in our community.

6. Do an overnighter:
We keep saying we are going to do this but we still have yet to do it. This year we plot a massive ride that will take more than one day to ride, with overnight accommodation. We can carry lightweight camping stuff.

7. Enter a new race:
Whether it's the excitement and nerves or the mental and physical challenge, you should find a competition that will test you in ways you haven't experienced before.

8. Introduce someone to mountain biking:
Most of us have a friend who used to ride but hasn't been on a bike for years. Get them out to a CTS ride and remind them what they've been missing.
