Ride Through the Countryside
Coach Emma:
Start your journey with your Bike and ensure your Helmet is secure. Begin by pressing the Pedal and feeling the power of your Chain as you shift Gear in time with your Cadence.
Rider Leo:
I adjusted my Saddle and gripped the Handlebar firmly while keeping an eye on the Tire pressure along the Route.
Coach Emma:
When you Draft behind others, tackle a steep Climb and enjoy the thrill of a fast Sprint or long Interval. Remember, riding in a Peloton with a good Handlebar grip helps during a long Tour.
