Trash Free Trails are an important part of improving the environments in which we ride, and just as importantly, helping mountain biking be seen as a positive addition to the outdoors communities to which we belong. In addition to that they have some incredible projects that touch other important areas too. The EWS in Tweed Valley was a Trash Free Trails Approved event so while I was there, I took the opportunity to sit down for a catch up with Chloe Parker and Rich Breeden to find out what Trash Free have been up to over the past year and what awesome stuff is still to come. So sit back, hit play and listen to this episode with Chloe and Rich.
You can find Trash Free Trails and all their resources at trashfreetrails.org. The Do It Ourselves Trail Clean Kit is here. They are on Instagram @trashfreetrails.
The incredible TrashMob Academy video that we mention is here, give it a watch.
Supporting Partners
Wahoo
A market leader in Road cycling, Wahoo are relatively new to the mountain bike world, but are serious about getting involved. They are already supporting top athletes like Tahnee Seagrave, Danny Hart, Wyn Masters, Brendan Fairclough, and Loic Bruni, along with many others too.
Wahoo were kind enough to support my training for the EWS100 and since November last year I’ve been using Wahoo’s products and found them intuitive, robust and a great addition to my training. Their GPS watch the ELEMNT RIVAL, their GPS computer the ELEMNT BOLT, and a Wahoo KICKR smart trainer were my choices, all combined with the super comfy TICKR heart rate strap. You can also check out their online one stop training and virtual racing platform, Wahoo X.
You can check out all that Wahoo have to offer over at wahoofitness.com.
