Rollers

Today was my first time on rollers.  I was pretty concerned about whether I would be able to balance and ride without falling off.  I set the rollers up in a doorway in the house so I wouldn’t actually fall too far.

I was surprised at how straightforward it ended up being.  At first, I was looking down at the front wheel – a big mistake.  I then remembered the advice to look ahead and all of a sudden, things became easier.  It’s also important to keep riding at a decent cadence, for me at least 90, and with a reasonable amount of power.

Riding on the rollers definitely makes a difference to the smoothness of your cycling technique.  I will incorporate roller sessions into my training to focus on technique.
