Show Notes
Today, we take a look at what why it's so important to be responsive and adaptable on a bike and show you how to build those skills.
We dive into the importance of having a cadence range and the ability to respond on a dime. We talk about what it means to ride your bike vs. letting your bike ride you. We look at trainer vs. outdoor riding and why you're probably not getting as much out of trainer rides as you should. We talk about distractions and how it may be affecting your ability to improve on the bike. Why Netflix could be holding you back. And, finally we talk about multi-tasking and how it is ultimately taking away from your ultimate goals.
