Cyclocross is a game of skills! and endurance, but a lot of it is skills. Let's chat about the most important skill - cornering! Find your limits, keep your momentum and just keep practicing!  


4 pointers; 


1 - Look through the turn / anticipate 



  • watch the exit

  • anticipate what’s coming and be prepared 


2 - Stay relaxed, loose



  • ready to react

  • find when you can pedal, then accelerate!  


3 - Tire pressure



  • experiment!

  • keep a log for different conditions  


4 - Use the course and adapt!



  • know your lines

  • don’t focus on burned in lines

  • adapt as the course changes - find the green! Green means go!  


Drills;
