## Resource

Power vs weight, big battery vs range extender, full-power vs lightweight eMTB — we dive deep into the eMTB debate, plus why clean eating for mountain bikers matters even if you ride hard and feel “fit.” We also break down how to flip negative thoughts into a winning streak mindset, build confidence, and keep stacking wins on and off the trail.From Orbea Wild eMTB demos, indoor trainers, mullet vs 29er setups, and killer bike shop support, to real talk on MTB nutrition, sugar addiction, real food, fat adaptation, and long-term riding health, this episode is packed with stoke.
