When Approaching a steep climb on your mountain bike here are a few tips for how to get to the top with the least amount of efforts.
- Choose your line avoiding as many obstacles as possible but not so many that you are waisting energy swerving all over the trail.
- Resist the urge to stand up.
- Choose the gear that will get you up the hill before you get there and get your cadence up before it gets hard.
- Bend at the waist and get your nose over your stem and handlebars. This puts weight over the front tire.
- Keep your butt to the back of the saddle or off the the saddle low over the back tire to make sure your rear tire is gripping the dirt.
