There’s big ups and downs in them hills

Body position and looking ahead – not straight in front of the front wheel – are two important factors in dealing with hills.

There’s something about mountains that seems to make a ride that much more epic. The scenery, the variety and the challenge all come together to tick quite a few boxes. The more confident you are with hills, the more options you have, and the safer you are when your ride stumbles across that mongrel, steep section of track with the potential to bring you undone.
