Today I was coaching my friend Dre on our club ride.
I noticed she was really stiff when riding. She said "I'm like a machine".
True. I told her to loosen up her shoulders and move side to side to create some more efficiency.
Almost immediately she started riding faster.
Then we worked on some cornering technique. She picked it up super fast!
The key is keeping your center of gravity over the tires where they meet the road.
1️⃣ I tell my athletes to stay with the inside knee pointing out and intimidate the corner of the turn.
2️⃣ Load all your weight on the pedal that is down.
3️⃣ Shift your butt to the "high side" of the saddle.
4️⃣ Bend your elbows and get low, but move your shoulders are over the wheels.
Comment if you have questions!
OH yeah... Dre got a QOM 👑 when she lowered her shoulders too!
