how do you stay on the black line:?
Hi ,
I am new to track cycling . The burning question i have is (on an indoor Track).How do you stay on the Black line as it is the shortest way around?. I find that when i exit a bend i seem to move outwards.cheers |
look 30-40 meters ahead, even around the turns.
(btw - which track?) |

X2. Pick up your head--your front wheel will still be there when you are done. In a paceline, look THROUGH the butt of the rider in front of you.
On paceline exchanges we also encourage the lead rider to move uptrack about 6 to 8 inches 10 to 15 meters before pulling off so the second rider can get a good view of the black line. Otherwise the second rider will tend to focus on the first rider and pop up as the first rider pulls off. |

That's why highway depts are trying to eliminate any curvy roads, because they are "unsafe."

Thanks a lot for the Advice.Will try it out.
Great forum. |
It also helps to soft peddle into the corner and then accelerate out as long as your not going to mess up the paceline.
|
look where you want to go.
also target fixation can become a bad habit...pretend you are the only one on the track. and the riders around you are invisible... |
