  2. Ride up diagonally. When you get close to the correct pedal position,
    turn in to ride perpendicularly so you'll be in the right spot. If it
    comes up too soon, turn away closer to parallel so you'll have a bit
    more distance.
    Also, using a pre-hop will help a lot. Once you get your pre-hop up to
    about 12 inches long, you add 12 inches of leeway in how close you have
    to be. If you're max hop length is 12 inches, you can start your hop
    from up to two feet away--12 inches for the pre-hop, and another 12 for
    the real hop.
