The Roadman Cycling Podcast Conquering Climbs: Key Mistakes Holding You Back and How to Fix Them
In this week’s Rider Support, Anthony and Sarah dive deep into the essential strategies for improving your climbing game, starting with the biggest mistakes riders make and practical tips to overcome them. They discuss pacing techniques, effective gear selection, ideal cadence, and much more to help you stay strong and efficient on those tough ascents. Next, a hot debate kicks off around Mathieu van der Poel’s controversial move at the World Championships—was his curb-hop a skillful display or a risky rule-bending stunt? Finally, Sarah tackles questions on cadence and maintaining power, even on technical mountain bike trails, plus some advice for staying fueled and focused during high-intensity rides. Also on the docket: insights into bicarbonate supplements, gravel racing tips ahead of the Gravel World Champs, and a deep dive into altitude tents for amateur athletes.
