The vast Saxony Swiss National Park is about 35-40km from the fourth largest city of Dresden in Germany. And it is close to the Czech border, a great resting place for active people. The topography of this region is quite special, formed during the earth-making process hundred million years ago.

This place used to be the sea, due to the changing of the crust, the receding water, the persistent strength of the water, the wind created for the sandstone mountains in this place are diverse shapes without being too dangerous. . Hundreds of forest trekking routes connect the sights, admire the beauty of the countless sand tips of sandstone mountains, of the graceful bend of the Elbe river, of the lush forest patches.

Walk in the green forest, breathe the fresh summer air, listen to the chorus of birds and let the wind caress your cheeks, hair. A good pair of shoes has a hard nose, a deep groove sole; backpack with water, sandwiches, a few apples, pears and a map of the park, so it’s comfortable hiking all day already.

You can choose a route every day to explore. Each route has its own marking on the trunk along the way to avoid getting lost. For example, if you have chosen the middle two red lines with a blue circle, you should follow the path with that symbol.

There are many sections to climb iron ladders or stone ladders to climb up. The narrow iron stairs at first glance seem quite difficult to climb, but have set foot on the stairs, each step takes you to different levels of emotion between nature and sky.

Cadence when pedaling in triathlon

by

One of the tips is to pedal low cadence. In this article, let’s take a closer look at this topic. through the article of Cam Watt, now a triathlon coach and once in charge of the Team Budget Forklifts racing team.

One day in late 2003, Brett Sutton – then my triathlon coach – asked to meet him at the Gold Coast racetrack (Australia). That’s where we will practice most of the pedaling. As soon as he met, he held a cable cutter in his hand. He wants you to run on the biggest big gear, unless you go on a steep slope. He can switch to a small one.

For the whole of the last season, Brett took me to the eyes of the races every weekend to deliberately show me how weak I am. Despite pedaling well with cadence up to 95rpm, imitating like professional athletes on TV I often see. that still didn’t help me defeat the French and Swiss bicyclists – real monsters!

Brett decided to tailor me exercises with heavy workloads, more about powering up. This lesson plan is calculated separately to suit my personal needs, because I am trying to improve my strength. Six months of running on gear and that was enough for me to see a sharp improvement. Before long, I could easily run with the best pedal.

Since then, I have started researching on professional cycling, started managing and leading a UCI team. When I was in my new position, I saw arguments about cadence. What is the ideal cadence level for triathlon long distance races?

Imagine the seesaw. One seesaw is your heart and lungs, the other is your legs. When cadence is higher, the heart and lungs need to work harder. Conversely, the lower the cadence the faster the stride has to go.

Position your seat
Adjusting properly your seat position can help you get in the correct position of your body for descending and climbing.
For descending: When it comes to descend, drop your seat from the height you set it at about 2 or 3 inches for climbing hills. Lowering your seat helps lower your center of gravity, which gives you more confidence and better control through steep descents. You may need to find what feels best through experimenting with different seat heights.
For climbing: When it’s time to climbing, while pedaling adjust your seat position for maximum efficiency. You should see a slight bend in your leg with the foot at the bottom of the pedal stroke, , reaching of full leg extension about 80-90 percent. This helps you powerfully use your major leg muscles and pedal efficiently.
Choose a path
Looking at spots you want to avoid in stead of focusing on where you want to go is a beginner’s mistake. Pick a line and stick to it around tricky sections of trail to get over.
You should you look for what hazards? It depends on your skill level. Generally, look for deep sand, loose rocks, water, logs, wet roots, other cyclists, animals and hikers. A log which will stop one cyclist might be a fun bunnyhop for another.
Scan ahead for hazards to find your line by looking down the trail about 15 – 20 ft. Then, toward your tire move your eyes back. You can adjust your balance and choose a line around them by knowing hazards ahead of time. Doing this up-and-back action allows you to take in lots of information by your eyes.
Hike the Bike
You’re bound to eventually get into a tight spot as you ride the trails. Don’t fight the bike if you get in a rut on the cycling trail. You should try your best to ride it out. Walking is just an accepted part of mountain biking. Many trails feature mandatory hike-a-bike sections which are too difficult to ride up, down, or through.There’s no shame if you stop and walk it out.

Mountain biking really require some different skills in comparison with road cycling. But you don’t need to go mountain biking on mountains. Just about any off-pavement riding will bring you great exercise, fresh air, the exhilaration of scenic views and long downhill stretches if hills or mountains are present. This article provides basic tips for you to get started.

Brake

Braking seems to be very simple: the bike slows down when you squeeze the levers. Learning about how to brake can make you more secure and comfortable on the bike although that is the gist of it.

Time to Brake

When approaching obstacles MB beginner riders usually slow way down. During over obstacles in the trail, getting up momentum can also be your friend.

Brake before you hit the turn when approaching a turn, and then your momentum will carry you through. You can get through these tricky sections of trail by controlling momentum. This allows you to exit the turn with speed and focus on your technique through the turn.

Learn to Brake

Braking should be controlled and consistent. Grabbing a handful of front brake can send you over the bars although most of your braking power derives from your front brake. You should so evenly do on the front and back brakes when lightly applying the brakes. Prevent skidding by avoiding fast and sudden squeezes.

Keep your three fingers of each hand on the handlebar grips while the index finger on the brake levers If you have disc brakes. This gives you control and sufficient braking power while riding. Put two fingers on the brake levers to engage the brakes and typically require more force since they if your mountain bike has rim brakes.

Dropping your heels down, moving your hips back and keeping a slight bend in your elbows and knees to brace yourself while braking. This body position prevents you from getting too far forward on the bike and helps you stay in control.

 

Necessary Tips for Mountain Biking Beginners (Part 1)

by

Every cyclists remembers their first time on a mountain bicycle. But you’re riding over hard terrain across streams, rocks, and over different types of all terrain. It’s nerve-wracking and terrifying together with fun and exciting at the same time. With time it gets more fun and easier. But when we were just starting out we wishes someone had shared a few mountain bike tips. When you’re first getting ready to shred you should know these belows mountain biking tips.

Keep your body loose

Your bike need to be equipped to roll over technical terrain. All you have to do is let your bike do its job. That means stay loose, and let it move beneath you. When riding over obstacles such as rocks and roots, you should hover your ass off the saddle. Your bike needs to move following the technical terrain. Think about cowboy legs and pushup arms and let the bike to flow with your body rather than fighting it. Flare out your elbows and knees when ripping down a descent.

Keep momentum

Maintain momentum whenever you can because it is your best friend out there. Momentum is the one thing which your bike needs most to keep moving forward. Momentum makes clearing tough sections of trail easier when the terrain gets challenging. Keep holding speed—and even speeding up even when you feel counterintuitive.

Shift your weight forward and backward

You will of course hit some extreme terrain when you cycle, including steep inclines and downward. To maintain traction when climbing a tough pitch, lean forward as well as shift your weight forward to keep your center of gravity over the rear wheel.

Shifting your weight backward the saddle and over the rear wheel (a godsend for this calls dropper posts) and go in the opposite direction when the trail tilts declines, to avoid going over the bars.
