MTB Skills Session

Three of our Red Rose Riders ventured out in the woods today to take part in a coaching session with Dave Lawson from Bury Clarion, the session was based on building skills and decision making that can be used out on the trail or in a race setting.

The riders looked at taking different lines through rooty sections and were working on moving their weight around the bike. All the riders improved their flow as they attempted the section a number of times and looked at how the different line choices affected their speed through the section.

The riders then reversed their steps and climbed the technical, rooty section with momentum, body position, line choice and gear selection all factors to consider.

A short time attack course was set up for the riders to tackle against the clock and to put the theory into practise.

Well done all - see you all soon.
