It’s a brand new year and it is back to school and work for most, and back to the normal routine of things. We also kick off a brand new year at MTB Talk SA this week with our first Mountain Biking podcast of 2014. This week on the show:

We take a look at the High School Mountain Bike Series with Deon Steyn. Deon tells us about the phenomenal growth of the sport of mountain biking at high school level and about the series that is set to create some world class stars. You can find out more about the High School Mountain Bike Series here.

Our resident sports psychologist Dr Kirsten van Heerden joins us to chat about setting your mountain biking goals for 2014. How do you go about setting realistic, achievable goals this year? Kirsten gives us the low down.

You can find out more about it here.
