OK so it’s been a while (never heard that here before eh?). I’ve been out with injury for the last 2 months and didn’t figure anyone would be all that excited to hear about my “epic” 35-50 mile road rides I’ve been doing on my 32 pound Super D bike (Hey It’s cushy and better than running) or my exciting trips to the Y to lift weights. Thrill a minute around here. But I wanted to write about this years Mt Ashland Super D.For those of you unfamiliar with the course I’ll try to lay it out for you.

“As an instructor, I’m constantly trying to work on getting riders in the proper position on their bikes. One of the best things I’ve done for my own riding is to get bars that fit my body properly. Now when I look back at old pictures and video of myself, I’m surprised I was able to ride as well as I was with standard width bars. Having bars which are too narrow force the riders elbows in and put a lot of pressure into the shoulders when braking, which keeps the riders’ center of gravity too high in their body. Within minutes of changing to wider bars, I could feel the changes I was able to make as a result. Riding in what I call the ‘throne’ position has always been a goal of mine, and getting bars that fit me properly made an immediate difference to my body position, which not only made me feel faster and better positioned, but also gave me greater control due to the leverage they provide.” - Simon Lawton
