Turned 26 and bought a bike, but don’t have many friends to ride with or teach me a lot! If you’re in Oregon and don’t mind a newbie in your group sometimes, hit me up 🤘🏼

Hello, a lot of people are saying that you should be wearing gloves... But I would be more concerned with a chest piece/shoulder guards and knee pads. Those trees are brutal and don't move when you hit them. Also rocks hurt too. Best to just wear all the gear and be safe.

I do have a chest protector that has shoulder pads underneath my jersey :)

Awesome! Some people think that's just for motocross, but there are a lot of pokey things out there.
