Takes the fundamental principles of Body Positioning and looks at how these elements relate to the cyclist traveling over rough ground, exploring the unique needs of off road cyclists including XC Mtb, Enduro, Downhill and Cyclocross.
Course Outline
The course explores the unique needs of off road cyclists including XC Mtb, Enduro, Downhill and Cyclocross. Cycling off road creates a much wider range of challenges to the human body and also sees the cyclist encounter a greater variation of forces than any other genre of cycling.
Off Road Positioning takes the fundamental principles of Body Positioning and looks at how these elements relate to the cyclist traveling over rough ground.
