Stairs & Hills

Cyclocross run-ups for speed and flow

Why it matters

Cyclocross throws stairs, steep pitches and muddy inclines at riders — sections you can't ride, where pushing or carrying the bike well decides races. Running with the bike blends speed, strength and precision: knowing when to dismount, which carry to use, and how to keep race flow through the run-up.

When to teach: Once dismounts and remounts are smooth
