Video: The Truth About Alcohol For Mountain Bikers

Alcohol plays a different role in all our lives, from teetotallers never touching the stuff, to the rider who thinks a ride isn't finished until you've enjoyed that ice cold, post-ride beer.

And for others, drinking is a daily habit, slowly eating away at their physical and mental health.

So in this video I wanted to share my thoughts on alcohol, both as a coach and as a rider who enjoys an (very) occasional beer.

Is it a big deal to have a drink after a ride? Is a glass of wine a day really healthy? How much is too much? And a load more....

And don't worry, this isn't just me lecturing you about how you should never have another drink because it will kill you. There's a bit more to it than that.
