back of the saddle is under my legs, not my butt. Get the bike in a real light granny gear, and be
prepared to keep it there. The cadence should usually be kept very slow, but as steady as possible.
Be skilled at trackstanding, and leaning in/out of skids. Be ready to clean your bike.Chris (has been riding in this pbase.com13007144Open ↗)

be very difficult and you might have more fun on skis. -

Obvious pointers: Try and waterproof your feet (plastic bags). Uphill you'll need to work really
hard to keep traction. Keep your weight low, use a low gear and try and keep the momentum going. If
you stop, getting started again is a PITA. Standing up and stomping on the pedals is out. On the
flats, again just try and keep the traction going. Don't make sharp movements and be ready to watch
your front wash out at any second. On the downs, try and keep the flow. Avoid sharp braking or sharp
turns and just let the front go where it wants. Give yourself plenty of braking time and try and
watch out for covered objects. Don't be afraid to get off and trudge the tough sections. Finally,
don't get lost and catch hypothermia.j-harris.netindex.htmOpen ↗ home.t-online.dewillingenOpen ↗

Yeah, the T-Online one is full so I decided to get some proper hosting and a proper domain name. I'm
in the process of transferring all the data over and putting it in nice packaging. It's taking quite
a while...--

bike washing which is not funny below 40F. -
