For that reason, the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;mountain biker will tend to emphasize interval training&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt; (the comments on &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;training mileage&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt; are relevant, but with at least one and possibly two interval days per week). Substituting a hill for your "interval" instead of picking up the pace on the flats offers a more realistic simulation of what will happen off road and will help train your legs as well as your cardiovascular system. Using a heart rate monitor to avoid overtraining from underestimating true levels of exertion is also helpful. And if you are trying to determine your pace for a competitive event, using a heart rate monitor and adjusting your pace to maintain 82-90% of your MHR throughout the event appears to be the best solution.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;The principles of nutrition are the same as for road biking, and specific dietary recommendations are outlined in the BASIC TRAINING RIDE, INTERVALS, and COMPETITIVE EVENT sections of the "Nutrition plans for 6 common types of rides".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h4 style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Technique&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Experience (and internalizing instincts on conditions) gained from mountain biking will provide skills to boost your ability to handle road biking emergencies - skids, slippery roads, unexpected excursions off the pavement, and even riders who go down in front of you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Along with balance, you will developing the right instincts on the brakes. When your tires are at risk of losing traction, remember that braking hard in turns or during a skid will only put you on the ground. You can't have control unless your wheels are free to turn. This is a common thread for wet and slippery pavement, dirt, or a light covering of snow.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Good examples are Lance Armstrong in the 2003 Tour De France and less well known, Andy Hampsten in the 1988 Giro d'Italia in 1988. Andy took the overall lead on a mountainous stage struck by a freak snowstorm. He had to climb and descend a major pass in blizzard conditions on a snow-covered dirt road -- on skinny tires. Not only didn't he crash, he gained enough time to become the first North American to wear the leader's jersey.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h4 style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Other&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;The remaining sections (myths, training tips and aids, etc.) are equally relevant for mountain and road biking. The only section unique to mountain biking is on infections due to the off trail and forested terrain.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4798345897537439499-6682323702567442307?l=veloisgerek.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://veloisgerek.blogspot.com/feeds/6682323702567442307/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://veloisgerek.blogspot.com/2010/02/mountain-biking.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4798345897537439499/posts/default/6682323702567442307'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4798345897537439499/posts/default/6682323702567442307'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://veloisgerek.blogspot.com/2010/02/mountain-biking.html' title='Mountain Biking'/><author><name>cyclist utm</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04826155342271895574</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4798345897537439499.post-7632948448241615429</id><published>2009-10-31T16:14:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-31T16:27:35.804-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Update: Desaru</title><content type='html'>Atas perbincangan yang sekian lama nye dibuat...huhu&lt;div&gt;kami memohon maaf kpd smua. tarikh adalah ditetapkan seperti berikut:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;tarikh : 12 November 2009&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Masa : 8.00pg (btolak) / 2 hari 1 malam&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;bayaran : akan dibincangkan bersama.untuk menanggung kos BBQ dan lain2. tak banyak mana pn :p&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;tiada perubahan dpt dibuat atas keputusan majoriti yg rata2 nya lebih berpeluang untuk join pada 12hb. kpd yang tak berkesempatan, kami mohon maaf. program akan datang akan dirancang agar lebih bersesuaian dgn kelapangan anda. terima kasih&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4798345897537439499-7632948448241615429?l=veloisgerek.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://veloisgerek.blogspot.com/feeds/7632948448241615429/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://veloisgerek.blogspot.com/2009/10/update-desaru.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4798345897537439499/posts/default/7632948448241615429'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4798345897537439499/posts/default/7632948448241615429'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://veloisgerek.blogspot.com/2009/10/update-desaru.html' title='Update: Desaru'/><author><name>cyclist utm</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04826155342271895574</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4798345897537439499.post-6768229808702692892</id><published>2009-10-25T08:51:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-25T12:33:04.688-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Desaru</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://wikitravel.org/upload/shared//thumb/1/1f/DesaruBeach.JPG/400px-DesaruBeach.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://wikitravel.org/upload/shared//thumb/1/1f/DesaruBeach.JPG/400px-DesaruBeach.JPG" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;mari semua meriahkan kayuhan ke desaru. berikut adalah maklumat lanjut. tetapi tertakluk kepada perubahan yang akan diupdate dari masa ke semasa:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;tarikh : 12 november 2009&lt;br /&gt;masa bertolak : 8.00pg&lt;br /&gt;duration : 2 hari satu mlm (btolak balik 13 november)&lt;br /&gt;kenderaan: basikal dan kereta&lt;br /&gt;penginapan: lelaki-mrempat ,pompuan-chalet&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;p/s:bersedia untuk kayuhan 100km lbh&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;antara aktiviti yang dirancang:&lt;br /&gt;1.

The net effect is more energy used (less efficient) to climb  standing versus to climb seated.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;  On short climbs, the length of a football  field or less, it makes little difference. But on longer climbs, stay in the saddle and  spin at 80 - 85 RPM. This is particularly so if you are heavier as standing puts just  that much more weight on your leg muscles, while sitting uses the seat to help take the  extra upper body weight off your legs. Staying in the saddle will:  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;burn less energy - heart rate is approximately 8% lower for any set speed &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;use your bigger gluteal (butt) and hip muscles to your advantage &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;  Want to train for climbing hills while seated?? Here is a drill you might consider. Go  hard up short hills while seated. Find a climb that's moderately steep and takes  about 30 seconds to crest. Hit it hard at the bottom in a fairly large gear. Beware of  letting your cadence slow by the top. Use a gear that lets you pedal at 90 rpm or more  all the way up. Start with two or three reps and increase as your strength improves.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;  That having been said, on long, fairly steep climbs, it may provide a break to alternate  sitting and standing to employ different muscle groups. Just before you stand, shift  to the next smaller cog, then shift back when you sit. These gear changes will help you  maintain a steady pace during cadence changes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;  And if you are going to stand, let the bike rock side to side under you - an arc of maybe  6 inches side to side. And don't lean too far forward. Stay back so that your weight is  directly over the crank.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;h4 style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;BODY POSITION&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;HAND POSITION&lt;/b&gt;  Comfort overrides these comments, but for seated climbing, most riders prefer to keep  their hands on top of the bars, perhaps 2 or 3 inches from the center stem. A wide grip  on the top of the handlebar reduces breathing restriction. And remember  to drop your elbows and relax your upper body.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;  For out of the saddle climbing or aggressive climbs (where you are accelerating or  attacking on the saddle) put your thumbs on the hoods and rest one or two fingers on  the levers or wrapped around underneath. And when you get to that descent, most riders  will go to the drops (keeping your wrists straight) for the aerodynamic advantages  although others prefer the hoods for the feeling of control. But not the top of the  bars as your hands will be too far from the brakes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;   &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;UPPER BODY STILL AND CHEST OPEN&lt;/b&gt;  Keep your upper body quiet - the bike should rock under you (try pulling up on the  handlebar opposite of the leg on a down stroke). Too much movement wastes energy. And  your shoulders should be back and "open". If not, you are constricting your  chest and cannot breathe efficiently.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;SIT BACK ON THE SADDLE&lt;/b&gt;  When you slide back on your seat, you gain a leverage advantage on the pedals. The  only time you would want to slide forward is for a short sprint on a small rise.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;  &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:100%;" &gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;h4&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wlLaIoFPypI/SqfrJaqJRsI/AAAAAAAAAGM/FEfrFe5XfXo/s1600-h/1244215806379-1a2n45x213qnf-500-90-500-70.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wlLaIoFPypI/SqfrJaqJRsI/AAAAAAAAAGM/FEfrFe5XfXo/s400/1244215806379-1a2n45x213qnf-500-90-500-70.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379526826924787394" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;h4&gt;WHEN YOU MUST STAND - pedaling while standing&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;  If you must stand, remember it's hard to pull up because you aren't in contact with the  saddle -- there's nothing to brace your hips to pull against -- and you will  to power  into BOTH the down and up strokes (12 to 5 o'clock on the down stroke and 7 to 10 o'clock  on the upstroke). You should use your body weight to help you push down. Let the bike move  fluidly under you. Don’t force it. The bike should  rock rhythmically side to side in an arc of about 6 inches (judged by the movement of  the handlebar stem). This gives each leg a direct push against its pedal and makes  the best use of your weight. This will help to maintain a  smooth stroke and your momentum. Don't lean too far forward. If the nose of your saddle  is brushing the back of your thighs, you are just right. Farther forward and you will press  the front tire into the pavement and lose power.  Stay back a bit and find the front-to-back  sweet spot. This helps center your weight over the crank to drive the pedals as described. And remember to shift up  a gear or two just before you stand to take advantage of the extra power you gain from  standing (but which you can’t maintain for any length of time). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;  Remember that if you are in a group, you need to consciously protect those behind you when  you stand to climb. How you stand on a hill is very important - do it wrong and the guy  behind might suddenly be on the pavement. The issue is the brief deceleration that  can occur as you change from sitting to standing incorrectly, which, relative to other  riders has the effect of sending your bike backwards and can cause the following rider's  front wheel to hit your rear wheel.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;  On short, rolling hills, the trick is to click to the next higher gear (smaller cog),  then stand and pedal over the top with a slightly slower cadence. This keeps quads from  loading up with lactate because it helps you pedal with body weight. In fact, it  can actually feel like you're stretching and refreshing your legs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;   The correct way to stand:  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;It is good etiquette to announce "Standing!" a couple of pedal strokes before you do so.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Stand smoothly as one foot begins its downward power stroke - don't lunge, keep your effort constant.   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;As you come off the saddle, push your hands forward a bit. This helps to ensure that the bike won't lose ground.   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;When returning to the saddle, continue pedaling evenly and again push your hands forward  to counteract any tendency to decelerate. This will gain several inches and put the seat right  under you.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-size:100%;" &gt;   You can practice your technique with a friend during a training ride. They can ride  behind and let you know when you've got the hang to it. That's when the gap between their  front wheel and your rear wheel doesn't narrow each time you stand or sit.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:100%;" &gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wlLaIoFPypI/Sqfts2uTxlI/AAAAAAAAAGU/SEy6SFiaj1I/s1600-h/steve_climbing_at_sierra_century.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 294px; height: 371px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wlLaIoFPypI/Sqfts2uTxlI/AAAAAAAAAGU/SEy6SFiaj1I/s400/steve_climbing_at_sierra_century.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379529634777122386" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;"&gt;   &lt;/p&gt;&lt;h4 style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;FIND YOUR SPEED AND RHYTHM&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;  Use the right gears and shift early to balance the work of your muscles and aerobic  system. New riders often make the mistake of pushing their muscles until they cannot  push any more. When they decide to shift to an easier gear -- if they have one -- it is  often too late. The muscles are exhausted and unable to continue. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;a name="cad"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;h4&gt;KEEP THAT CADENCE UP&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  Think about this. If you ride up the hill in two minutes at 60 rpm, you've divided the  total work into 120 pieces (consider each revolution of your pedals as a unit of work).  But if you spin at 90, there would be 180. As you've done the same elevation gain, but  now broken it into smaller bits, there will be less work (and strain on the knees) with  each revolution. (And if you do have knee problems, take a break and stand during  hills - which will change the biomechanics and give your knees a break).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;   Gear down before the hill. The goal is to avoid producing large quantities  of lactic acid and then pedaling through the pain. You want a sustainable rhythm. Try to keep your cadence above 70 -- any slower puts excess stress on your knees. The  optimum spin rates for efficient pedaling are somewhere between 70 and 80. One rider  reported that he actually went faster as he increased his cadence in a lower gear. For  example, he would maintain 6.5 mph at 50 rpm in one gear and then, as he geared down, he  found he maintained 8 mph at 70 rpm without a perceived increase in effort. If you find  that things are going well, you can always shift to a harder gear later.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;  Try to find the cadence that would let you "climb all day". You are pushing too  hard if you: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;can't keep a smooth pedal stroke &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;are panting or breathing irregularly &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;h4 style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;h4 style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;BREATHING&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:100%;" &gt;  &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;If you start to breathe irregularly, take a deep breath and hold it for a few pedal  strokes. Try synchronizing your breathing with your pedal stroke - start by taking a  breath every time one foot (your right one for example) reaches the bottom of a stroke.  Then try 1 1/2, and finally every two strokes. You will actually deliver more oxygen to  your system with a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;controlled rate.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TRAINING FOR CLIMBING - DO SOME HILLS&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:100%;" &gt;  &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;After you've developed a good strength base in the weight room, the absolutely best  way to&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;  If you are going to be riding hills as part of an event or a tour, you might consider  building up &lt;u&gt;weekly&lt;/u&gt; climbing volume to around 125% of event climbing volume. If it is a  one day event, aim to climb at least 60% of event elevation change volume on several rides.  For example, if the event has 10,000 feet of climbing, you must climb 6,000 feet in  training in one day, several times. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;  And don't foget to train for technique as well.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; Find a hill that's 1/4 to 1/2 mile long - not too steep. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; Find the gear that lets you spin at 100 rpm all the way to the top.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; Keep your breathing steady. If you start panting, the gear is too high. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; Then find a higher gear that reduces your cadence to around 50 rpm, but again without causing you to have labored breathing. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; Now the exercise:  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; Climb the hill in the low gear with a fast cadence. Work on spinning smoothly. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; Coast back down and then climb the hill in the higher gear (slow cadence) concentrating  on applying an equal force all the way around the pedal stroke. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; Repeat the cycle (4 total climbs) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;GROUP RIDING TECHNIQUES&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;  One trick for weaker climbers in a group is to move near the front of the group near the  start of the climb and allow others to pass as the climb continues. In that way, you will  be near the back at the top but won't get dropped and have to fight back to close with  the group.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;  Save a little for a short sprint over the top of the hill -- shift up and stand to  accelerate and make up some distance.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4798345897537439499-3462511346761083005?l=veloisgerek.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://veloisgerek.blogspot.com/feeds/3462511346761083005/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://veloisgerek.blogspot.com/2009/09/cycling-performance-tips-climbing.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4798345897537439499/posts/default/3462511346761083005'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4798345897537439499/posts/default/3462511346761083005'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://veloisgerek.blogspot.com/2009/09/cycling-performance-tips-climbing.html' title='Cycling Performance Tips - Climbing'/><author><name>cyclist utm</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04826155342271895574</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wlLaIoFPypI/SqfqfnZrOYI/AAAAAAAAAGE/zYS-SrnrClE/s72-c/TransApl.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4798345897537439499.post-1354441218796334128</id><published>2009-09-08T08:25:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-14T18:58:43.926-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Cycling Performance Tips - Stretching</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wlLaIoFPypI/SqZ776umlFI/AAAAAAAAAFE/btbQXgK0Y3I/s1600-h/image019.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wlLaIoFPypI/SqZ776umlFI/AAAAAAAAAFE/btbQXgK0Y3I/s400/image019.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379123074247857234" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stretching&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With exercise there is microscopic injury to muscle tissue, and the more vigorous the activity or the more it exceeds your level of training, the greater that injury. This injury occurs in muscles which are actively contracting (your quads for example) as well as in muscles being held in a constant state of contraction (isometric) for long periods of time (such as your shoulder muscles on a long ride). Microscopic muscle injury is one of the reasons for why you get sore muscles after a vigorous workout or competition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This microtrauma will cause the tissue to swell (edema) with an influx of inflammatory cells, and in the healing phase, there can be development of fibrous or scar tissue. During the initial inflammatory phase of this process the muscle responds with a reflex spasm which is&lt;br /&gt;the tightness or knot you can feel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stretching or massage (where someone else is stretching the muscle in question for you) can help to relax this muscle spasm and minimize edema with subsequent fibrous tissue formation. And there is some evidence that a muscle that has been fully lengthened (stretched) before activity will contract more forcefully and improve performance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is important to stretch only after the muscle to be stretched has been actively warmed up - either with 5 or 10 minutes of exercise or in the post exercise period. There is scientific evidence that this will increase tissue elasticity and ductility, and reduce the frequency of injuries directly related to the stretching itself. Does stretching done after the warmup period decrease the incidence of injury from the subsequent activity? That is unproven at this point, but common sense would suggest that if the muscle edema and spasm are minimized, there should be less stress on the muscle fibers and thus less additional injury.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For cyclists, the most common muscles requiring post exercise stretching or massage are the hamstrings, quadriceps, and shoulder muscles. As an inflamed muscle, or one in spasm, is uncomfortable to pressure, it is easy for you to identify your own areas of overuse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When massaging a muscle, two approaches can be used. First is to apply pressure on the area of discomfort (the palpable knot) with the muscle in a neutral, relaxed position. The pressure is then moved along the direction of the muscle fibers (remember to massage in the direction of the muscle fibers - the direction of pull of the muscle) to counteract the spasm and "work out" the pain. Over the last few years, there has been increased interest in "active" strecting or massage which means that steady pressure is maintained on the tender area or muscle, and the extremity is actively put through it's range of motion, contracting and moving the muscle beneath the point of pressure. The theory being that this involves the nerve/muscle unit and may retrain the entire motor unit to sustain a decrease in spasm after the massage session has been completed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What can you do to maximize the benefits of a stretching program?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;keep a training diarythat includes notation of muscle soreness that might need extra stretching or massaing later, particularly if there is a trend over several days/weeks.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; stretch for long enough - I've heard the recommendation of 2 minutes of active stretching (that means keeping the muscle on stretch tension) for every 15 minutes of vigorous exercise. This was for track competitiors and may be less for those biking many  hours a day for their training. But the idea is that you can't overdo on the time devoted to stretching.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; be sure to adequately hydrate during your exercise.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those of you interested in additional web material on stretching, Liam Keever has put together a comprehensive site with a detailedstretching program at Bodymind Resources&lt;http: com=""&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/http:&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wlLaIoFPypI/SqZ_fl6iN9I/AAAAAAAAAFs/gFLXkcLvJRs/s1600-h/stretch5.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 287px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wlLaIoFPypI/SqZ_fl6iN9I/AAAAAAAAAFs/gFLXkcLvJRs/s400/stretch5.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379126985670932434" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wlLaIoFPypI/SqZ_f0aBDqI/AAAAAAAAAF0/VrWbiC44UcY/s1600-h/stretch6.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 288px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wlLaIoFPypI/SqZ_f0aBDqI/AAAAAAAAAF0/VrWbiC44UcY/s400/stretch6.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379126989561073314" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;http: com=""&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;MUSCLE CRAMPS&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stiffness or tightness in a muscle are probably related to some mild "spasm" in the muscle fibers along with edema or selling from microtrauma - but when you get a muscle cramp you are seeing spasm at its finest. There is not any single cause of the spontaneous contraction, or cramp, but there are several common scenarios including exercising at a level greater than your training, and water and electrolyte imbalances. Here are a few tips you might consider if you often suffer from cramps.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt; Train  for your event. If you are targeting a long-distance event, incorporate long rides into your training. If you will be doing intervals, train with intervals - and push yourself to the level you will be racing at.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Eat a diet rich in carbohydrates (to minimize the risk of glycogen depeltion in the muscles). Glycogen loading can not only improve performance, but cramps are less likely if you ride moderately an hour or two the day before your target event. And eat during a ride of greater than two hours.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Eat a diet rich in calcium, potassium and magnesium If it is going to be a particularly hot ride (or hot and long) and you will be lsoing significant salt in your perspiration, put a little extra salt  on your meals before hand.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Stay adequately hydrated both before and during the event.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Consider medications as a cause. Diuretics especially can predispose to cramps with exercise. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;/http:&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wlLaIoFPypI/SqaAsuFhyGI/AAAAAAAAAF8/NRp4zPnhZgo/s1600-h/muscle-cramps-3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 192px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wlLaIoFPypI/SqaAsuFhyGI/AAAAAAAAAF8/NRp4zPnhZgo/s400/muscle-cramps-3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379128310714452066" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;http: com=""&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/http:&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4798345897537439499-1354441218796334128?l=veloisgerek.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://veloisgerek.blogspot.com/feeds/1354441218796334128/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://veloisgerek.blogspot.com/2009/09/cycling-performance-tips.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4798345897537439499/posts/default/1354441218796334128'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4798345897537439499/posts/default/1354441218796334128'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://veloisgerek.blogspot.com/2009/09/cycling-performance-tips.html' title='Cycling Performance Tips - Stretching'/><author><name>cyclist utm</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04826155342271895574</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wlLaIoFPypI/SqZ776umlFI/AAAAAAAAAFE/btbQXgK0Y3I/s72-c/image019.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4798345897537439499.post-5543133363557168272</id><published>2009-09-06T11:21:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-06T12:05:50.540-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Mountain Bike Riding Tips and Techniques</title><content type='html'>Mountain biking is an exciting sport that can be enjoyed by everyone who knows how to ride a bike. It does, howe&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;ver, present s&lt;/span&gt;ome additional challenges compared to the average neighborhood ride. Master these basic skills before you hit the real dirt and turn those obstacles into something to look forward to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" &gt;1. Pedal play - Get used to your pedals(This is only if u use pedal clip and mtb shoes)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wlLaIoFPypI/SqQBsftZLgI/AAAAAAAAADs/HpzVXRwbq08/s1600-h/pedal_play_280.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 280px; height: 210px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wlLaIoFPypI/SqQBsftZLgI/AAAAAAAAADs/HpzVXRwbq08/s320/pedal_play_280.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378425718924979714" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;*  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;For those who have pedal clip and mtb shoes .Practice removing your foot from the pedal. Do this first while sitting on your bike with one   foot on the ground. Then move on to releasing and replacing your foot while pedaling around. Beginners with toe clip and clipless type pedals will want to spend a little more time here&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;2. Sit and spin for proper sit and position&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;        &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Sit on your bike and pedal around. Your arms should remain slightly bent. Your seat height should be adjusted so your leg is about 70 to 90 percent extended at the bottom of every pedal stroke. Keep your body loose and relaxed. There is never a situation when you should have your&lt;br /&gt;knees or elbows locked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wlLaIoFPypI/SqQCxeqYevI/AAAAAAAAAD0/vbbJg5sV25E/s1600-h/sit_spin_280.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 280px; height: 210px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wlLaIoFPypI/SqQCxeqYevI/AAAAAAAAAD0/vbbJg5sV25E/s320/sit_spin_280.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378426904054889202" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;3.  Shifting Gears- Learning how and when to Shift&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;              Get comfortable with shifting the gears on your bike. Higher gears are harder to pedal and will go faster while lower gears are easier to pedal and help you get up hills. Next, try to get used to what gears you need to be in to comfortably go up different pitched hills. As the hills get steeper, it is best to shift before you get to the hill rather than while you are on the hill.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" &gt;4. Pedal up - learn to pedal while standings&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Get comfortable with pedaling while standing on your bike. Lift yourself off the seat, stand on your pedals and crank them around. Try this in higher gears on the flat and in lower gears on the hills.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wlLaIoFPypI/SqQFSSuZOAI/AAAAAAAAAD8/9C_MTrcUvHQ/s1600-h/pedal_up_280.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 280px; height: 210px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wlLaIoFPypI/SqQFSSuZOAI/AAAAAAAAAD8/9C_MTrcUvHQ/s320/pedal_up_280.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378429666809427970" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;a short about  basic techniques to ride mouintain bike and ready to off road.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4798345897537439499-5543133363557168272?l=veloisgerek.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://veloisgerek.blogspot.com/feeds/5543133363557168272/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://veloisgerek.blogspot.com/2009/09/mountain-bike-riding-tips-and.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4798345897537439499/posts/default/5543133363557168272'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4798345897537439499/posts/default/5543133363557168272'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://veloisgerek.blogspot.com/2009/09/mountain-bike-riding-tips-and.html' title='Mountain Bike Riding Tips and Techniques'/><author><name>cyclist utm</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04826155342271895574</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wlLaIoFPypI/SqQBsftZLgI/AAAAAAAAADs/HpzVXRwbq08/s72-c/pedal_play_280.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4798345897537439499.post-4758341406715694695</id><published>2009-08-28T07:27:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-28T08:45:17.886-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Basic Cycling</title><content type='html'>&lt;div  style="text-align: justify;font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"  style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span style="text-transform: uppercase;" times="" new="" roman=""&gt;Pedaling Mechanics&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul  style="margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify;font-family:arial;" type="disc"&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Pedaling should be envisioned as pedaling in “circles”.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Another helpful image is that of&lt;span style=""&gt;   &lt;/span&gt;scraping mud off your shoes at the bottom of the pedal stroke.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Again, these are just visualizations and should help you translate the idea to the pedal stroke.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;During the recovery period of a pedal stroke, you should be continuing the cicular motion of pedaling, while pulling up on the pedal at the same time.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;One of the most common mistakes in cycling is only pushing down on the pedals and not pulling up.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Try hard to avoid bouncing while riding&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Try hard to avoid any rocking motion while riding.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Stay focused on keeping your upper body motionless and not allowing your hips to rock from side to side.

Normally, when you pedal with both legs, the leg that pulls the foot through the bottom of the stroke and back up to the top of the 360 degree “cycle” is under used (as the other leg, when pushing the crank through the downstroke has significantly more power and thus allows a bit of slacking).Learning to pedal a complete, 360-degree circle with both legs working together will make you a better rider. Practicing with one legged drills will embed this idea into your pedaling style.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol  style="text-align: justify;font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Warm up on the trainer for 20 minutes while pedaling with both legs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Unclip one foot from the pedal. Rest it on a chair or stool just outside the left pedal circle.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Pedal at 90 rpm using your right leg, using an easy gear until you get accustomed to the feeling of one-leg pedaling. The muscles that lift your thigh and push the pedal over the top will fatigue quickly at first, but you’ll improve rapidly.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;After a few minutes, switch to the other leg.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;div  style="text-align: justify;font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wlLaIoFPypI/SpfpssVVjJI/AAAAAAAAADU/4oAhcDZYem0/s1600-h/pedalrotation.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;
