McIntyre begins season preparation with singlespeed mountain biking

Hunter McIntyre has announced via Instagram that he has begun his season preparation. He says he takes months each year to define his goals and mentally prepare for what lies ahead.

For this season, he has set two priorities: more speed and more strength. As a first concrete step, he has started riding a singlespeed mountain bike on a weekly basis, a deliberate choice to build a foundation.

The first day was tough, McIntyre writes, but he immediately set several personal records. He has not revealed exactly when he will next toe a start line, though he indicates it will be soon.
