MTB in Beijing
Found this while exploring the official Olympics website -
'Mountain Bike became an event of the Olympic Games in 1996. Its course is uneven since mountain bikes use flat tires.'

Technique: Get faster by riding slowly
Article forwarded by our friends at MTBOz:
Technique: Get faster by riding slowly
Are you a pupil of the ‘no pain, no gain’ school of training? New research says you’ll get fitter faster if you take it easy.
Sounds good doesn't it? But we're not quite saying you can get fitter by sitting on the sofa. The trick is to ride in the least taxing of your training zones, the levels of effort that actually have an effect on your fitness. Let's kick off by taking a look at them....

Knee Injury - Help
OK, I know I've seen some of you guys with strapping around your knees so I'm looking for some suggestions. I did triathlons many centuries ago and stopped after being unable to resolve a knee injury which would flare up when riding.

Surprisingly, until now, I haven't experienced the same problem with my knee (I'm guessing because of the constant shifts in body weight when MTBing as against the fairly constant rotations on the road).
