CYCLO-CROSS SKILLS 1

For Vancouver Island CX junkies ( and visitors from the mainland)  with the COTR  Championships fast approaching, it's time to hone those essential skills that will save  precious seconds every lap. A major source of lost time is poor dismount and remount technique.  Here is an excellent video explaining the basics of getting off and back on your bike quickly. The video concentrates on dismounting and remounting at an artificial barrier, but this technique can be used wherever riders have to get off their bikes during a race. Watch and then practise, practise, practise!
