Apps for the win, get these on your phone:  Trailforks, MTB Project, Singletrack lite, Strava, a weather app, YouTube, your GPS device app, Red Bull TV, GoPro, and Bike unchained 2!  The first three apps will help you find trails and navigate trails, my personal favorite is Trailforks.  Strava allows you to track everything you do on your bike so you have a record of your accomplishments.  It’s always good to know what the weather is going to be like so find a weather app you enjoy and don’t get caught out in a thunderstorm.  YouTube has so many videos that can help you as a cyclists and also has people with channels that can entertain you with bike content which is better than cable TV!  Make sure you download the app that works with your GPS device so that you can easily transfer your rides, this should also automatically upload to Strava.  If you are into shooting video while you bike and use a GoPro, get the app for easy access to your videos and editing.  For that time when you are off your bike, get the bike game app so you can shred on your phone.   Also get yourself a nice pair of cycling glasses with interchangeable lenses.  You should also ride for your local bike shop and get a nice kit to wear if you race!  It may also be a good idea if you are a beginner to get a bike fit so that you are not compromising any part of your body.
