It’s almost Halloween, so let’s get into costume and ride bikes!!
Climbing is an often under appreciated skill. Many riders think it has more to do w strength and fitness, but the truth is you can have all the strength and fitness in the world, but if your body is out of balance, your won’t be able to muscle your way to the top.
How do you find the correct body position?
We always start w traction. You need to do something with your body suck that you can maintain as much traction as possible through BOTH tires.
Three tips:
1) scoot the boot! This means move your butt forwards towards (or sometimes onto) the nose 👃 of your saddle.
2) EAT THE COOKIE! 🍪 this means imagine there is the most delicious cookie attached to your stem, and you want to take a big ol bite out of it. This will bring your chest forwards and down, allowing increased traction on the front tire.
3) Light n Tight. This means brace your core (tight) but be light with your hands.
