If you have advanced from a gentle cycle ride to a more off-road adventure

cycling style then you need to know a few basic tips to help you deal with the

variable conditions you may meet along the way.

Your body position is very important during a ride as

this give a strong base for your core muscles to drive and direct the bike, by

shifting your weight forwards and backwards over the wheels can improve

your grip on your tires and help with cornering. It’s best to start with a strong,

central body position on your bike that allows you to lean and turn the

handlebars to a full lock in either direction, you will gain more skills as you go.

When riding trails and in the standing position ensure that your feet are pointing

slightly up on the pedals, this will give you far better grip and ease fatigue. This

is also a great tip for your handlebar grip – by rolling your grip backwards

slightly will enable any obstacles to be overcome more easily and act as a type

of shock absorber.

Forward thinking is essential if you are going to ride bike parks and trails at any

high speeds, so looking two meters or even 5 meters ahead of the track you

are on will help you navigate you bike and also keep a straight back, as you are

not stooped over looking at the ground. By looking forwards of the track will

allow you to select the most suitable path and body position for what is coming

up.

Anticipating you next gear will ensure each time you push down on the gas you

do so effectively, without either being in too low a gear that you fail to move the

bike forward or in high a gear that you struggle to pedal. This type of gear

selection will come with adventure cycling experience, as you get to know

what gears you require for the speed and climb you are doing. As you do

change gear, ease your pedaling slightly as not to damage your components.
