We’ve run a few cyclocross and mountain bike clinics recently where we have been talking about cornering and getting our cranks level before initiating the turn. This “ready position” we’ve nicknamed the “Van der Poel” position, as he frequently seen demonstrating this to set up for corners, technical sections and to help him recover from high intensity bursts of power. Here’s an example if you aren’t familiar with it.

Rice Cakes, yum. On the ride on Saturday one of the guys was asking about savory substitutes to bars and gels. Rice Cakes are an easy to make alternative. Follow a receipe such as these found in the feed zone portables book or invent your own by simply sandwiching left overs between two layers of Calrose rice. Cut into squares, wrap and put in your back pocket.

Happy Throwback Thursday everyone! Here's one of Coach Nick racing the North Road Hardriders TT back in February 1987. It was barely above freezing with sleet, rain and snow that day. Check out the wool jersey, shorts and gloves and no shoe covers, building grit :)

I've been listening to the Tony Robbins interview with the late John Wooden, one of the most successful basketball coaches in the sport's history. He lived by a seven point creed given to him by his father (quoted here) and has many great leadership quotes attributed to him. Very inspirational and worth a listen.

Some seriously impressive core strength and balance on display from world champ Kate Courtney. We’ve seen similar posts from road riders like Peter Sagan too, so this isn’t only for mountain bikers. Are you doing enough core work?
