It's launch week for MTB Practice Lab

Welcome Mountain Bike Geezer subscribers (plus a handful of others)!

Hey friend, as a Mountain Bike Geezer newsletter subscriber, I've moved you to my new publication, MTB Practice Lab, hosted on the Substack platform. (If you’ve subscribed via other means, thank you!)

It's a combination blog, newsletter, and community with the theme:

Science-based strategies to help you get better at practicing mountain biking skills

Here are several items that you should know about:

• I've published an overview of the newsletter -- why it's unique, who it's for, and my plans for the future. See it here.

• I've published ten posts, starting back in early July, so you can get a good idea of what types of content the newsletter will cover. Here's a partial screenshot of the newsletter home page:

• Though I write it, the newsletter is about creating a practice community for mountain bikers worldwide. So please feel free to speak up in the comments of posts (or in replies back to me) with your reactions, questions, suggestions, and responses to others. I'm also eager to hear stories about your practice-related struggles and successes.

• You don't need to subscribe if you're reading this via email. But consider editing your profile (photo, brief bio). It's an easy but meaningful way to help build the community. Here's my profile. You can do better!

• I plan to send the newsletter out twice weekly, but since this is launch week, I'll send it daily. I've got some stuff in mind that's different from the 10 posts I've published thus far.

• Consider getting the Substack app to read and participate if you use a smartphone. It's available for iOS now and Android soon. Android users can use an RSS app like Feedly in the meantime.
  

• If you like to leave a comment or ask a question on this post, have at it. It need not be anything profound. Short and goofy is fine. It’s your chance to get familiar with commenting in a low-stakes setting. Consider it a form of practice since, well, you know, practice is our middle name!

• If you'd like to email me, reply to this newsletter or send it to: mtbpracticelab@substack.com

• If you'd like to leave me a voicemail (90 seconds or less), use my account at SpeakPipe:

That’s it for now. I look forward to seeing you in the comments.
