WEEKLY MOUNTAIN BIKE RIDES:
We ride on Wednesday evenings at 5:30 in Bent Creek. All are encouraged to join in. We tailor the rides to fit the group that is present that day. I will send out an email on Sunday or Monday with the weekly information so if you want to ride, send me an email and I'll add you to the list... Gary Swinea.
Mountian Biking Climbing Tip:
This is quite common on climbs, when a rider stalls out they feel like all they needed was more power. More often than not the rider has the power but lacked the skill to climb the hill. In this case the skill is body position. Often you simply stop pedaling on a steep hill because you feel like you are going to flip over.
Find a steep hill and practice this while climbing it: to keep the front wheel on the ground (and avoid the about to flip over feeling) lower your chest. The steeper the hill the more you will have to lower your chest towards the handle bars to weight the front end of the bike and keep from wheeling. If the rear wheel starts to spin you have lowered the chest too much (taking weight off your rear wheel) to regain traction simply raise your chest a little.
