- It’s better to do less more often than more less often

         You’ll get more out of your riding if you ride consistently, squeezing in an hour here and there rather than cramming it all in on a Saturday morning and slacking the rest of the week.

- It’s all about intensity

         Go out once or twice a week and ride short spurts as fast as your screaming muscle fibers will let you, and jam up a hill again and again. It’ll hurt, but it’ll make you faster.

- 90% is faster than 110%

         If you are out there hammering in the red, chances are your form and techniques are suffering. Your pedal stroke is probably sloppy, and your lines are all over the trail. Slow down enough to be in control, and you’ll ride smoother and faster.
