Last week we posted a video about climbing up technical ledges. During the filming process I helped April with some coaching on Pedal stroke, Cadence, and Seat Height which seemed to really help her climbing but it ended up being just a little too long to add to the video. We decided to take a little extra time with those lessons and roll that section up into its own video to share with you. We really hope this can help you pedal smarter and improve your ride!
