If you watched the Tour de France, you've seen pro riders climb mountains as fast as some of us pedal on the flats.
How do they do that?
And more to the point, can we elevate our uphill skills to that elite level?
RBR's Coach Fred Matheny has the honest answer: Highly unlikely.
As most of us already know, there is no magic when dealing with
gravity. Pedaling a bike uphill is hard. It takes hard work to improve.
There's no getting around that.
But then there's this . . .
If you're willing to do the work and learn the right techniques, you will become a stronger, faster, smarter climber.
Today we introduce a new eBook, Climbing for Roadies -- Coach Fred's guide to becoming the best climber you can be.
It's written with this promise: Regardless of your natural talents, you can climb far better than you ever have.
Climbing for Roadies distils the knowledge and
insights Fred has gained in nearly 4 decades of riding in Colorado and
other vertical locations. He explains the training and skills necessary
for performing at your best in hilly or mountainous terrain. And he
does so with the practical, doable approach found in all of his RBR
eBooks and eArticles.
As a cycling writer, racer and coach, Fred has ridden with and
learned from many fine climbers. He's studied their training, their
position on the bike, their equipment, their shifting techniques, their
tactics, how they eat and drink in hilly terrain . . . all the factors
that elevate their talent on hills.
All that information is loaded into Climbing for Roadies, making it the most comprehensive guide to road bike climbing you can own.
This eBook's teachings are vital for racing success, but it's
certainly not for racers only. All of the wisdom provided will help
recreational cyclists who want to maximize their ability during group
rides, tours, centuries and other events that include hilly roads.
And because what goes up must come down, Coach Fred devotes a comprehensive chapter to fast-but-safe descending.
