PRE-RIDING LIKE A PRO
PROS ARE SO GOOD AND TRAVEL SO MUCH, they often don't pre-ride a course. They don't need to. We do, and here's how to do it...
... in a pro way.
Nearly all of us have had the exhilarating and nerve-racking opportunity to be in a school/community play.
We get the line(s) and memorize at home.
It's all great until the dress rehearsal.
That's where we find out just how nervous we are, how hard it is to remain focused...
... and deliver that dang part!
We go home, practice some more.
The next dress rehearsal goes better.
Repeat they cycle a few more times...
... and a star is born!
Think of your intervals, your bike prep, loading your RaceDay Bag™, etc as memorizing your lines...
... perfect all of it.
Get out to the course as early as possible and pre-ride it as close as possible to your raceday set up...
... this is your dress rehearsal.
Take note of everything:
- Weather
- Angle of sun
- Terrain surface
- Exit and entrance angles on turns
- Final miles
- Duration
- etc
And, if possible, repeat the cycle a few more times.
Can't get out there early? Read up on it. Look for videos. Search out others who have raced the course. There is a lot that can be done remote.
Too many of us forget our lines on raceday...
... lose our minds and blow it.
