My first ride off-road on the CX bike today went OK, but narrow and overgrown trails made it tough to get a rhythm together and other than some time spent in the park doing dismounts and remounts, I'm not sure I got a lot of benefit. I think my fitness training is best done on the road but as a total novice I need to find a place to develop my bike handling skills...
What do you guys do to train off-road and where do you go? I havent even been to a race yet so dont really know what to expect on a UK course, except for mud when the weather turns! I have a feeling its not much like the local trails I have access to though...
Any suggestions?
