Cross Fertilisation
Two Wheels
I recently had a day of mountain bike skills training with Ed Oxley of Great Rock.

A lot of what I had to learn was about fore/aft balance and how, for too long I’ve been leaning too far off the back of the bike. I had to learn to have my weight forward, and shift it back at the right point.
Sound familiar?
It should do.
The impact on my horse-riding has been immediately noticeable.

No longer worried about my position I’m now able to better judge if Monster will be overfaced, and I’m not unbalancing her. This season she is really coming on.
