How To Ride Romaniacs Bronze Class!︱Carpathian Adventures

www.carpathianadventures.eu Are you thinking of entering the bronze class of Red Bull Romaniacs? Or interested in an enduro tour that rides this type of terrain? On many of the trails, too much throttle and wheelspin will just wear you out and get you into trouble during Romaniacs bronze class. Pace yourself. You will feel a lot of pressure to ride fast and hard, especially in the prolog, but this often gets you into trouble and exhaustion on the last two days. And while Romaniacs is a hard enduro, there are plenty of open flowing sections where you can relax a little. But remember there is often a very steep drop off on the sides, so often you can't mentally relax. And when riding those beautiful mountain tops, there are plenty of rocks, small ruts and other obstacles that can catch you out. Preparing for bronze class in Red Bull Romaniacs involves three main areas: riding technique, physical fitness and mental toughness. Riding technique? You need to be at least an intermediate rider. Where possible avoid stopping, you can relax when you get to the next easy section and recover while still riding Red Bull Romaniacs.Learn to how paddle with your legs properly, both sitting down and standing on the footpegs. If you ride the prolog, learn how to ride over logs, car tyres and large rocks. Every now and then the event organisers will throw some crazy descents at you. Learn how to bulldog down steep slopes with minimal risk to you and your bike. We'll give you an idea of what typical bronze class tracks are like, the techniques you'll need, and other tips if you are considering bronze class for Red Bull Romaniacs prologue. If you are racing, it's extremely important to pick the right class at Romaniacs. For most riders it costs a lot to enter, and unfortunately some over estimate their abilities and drop out on the first day due to injury. We encourage riders to try a tour here first. It's much cheaper, the guides can show you what to expect in each class, and you can familiarise yourself with the terrain and techniques needed at Red Bull Romaniacs prologue and the main event. If you are thinking of an enduro tour with us, this level of riding suits intermediate dirt riders. But remember our tours are completely flexible and we can make things easier or harder to suit your group, often riding the tracks used in previous years. Many riders neglect this at Red Bull Romaniacs. Even in bronze class there will be times you want to give up, whether it's sheer exhaustion, a painful crash, a broken down bike, a hill climb you can't make, or a descent you are too scared to ride down. You need a positive mindset to cope with setbacks and learn how to detach yourself from pain and fatigue. Instead of lifting your bike out of trouble, learn how to weight the rear wheel with a controlled drop of the clutch to get out of holes and over slippery tree roots. Work on your clutch technique and finding traction. Anyone who has ridden Red Bull Romaniacs before will tell you how exhausted they became on the final two days, even in the relatively easy iron and bronze classes. This is just a quick overview of Romaniacs bronze class and we'll cover all of this in more detail in coming vids. If you'd like to know more follow us and hopefully one day we'll see you in Romania! Physical fitness? It's not a bad idea to work on your cardio and strength training but remember weight training with your arms can lead to arm pump. But really there is no subsititute for time on your bike through challenging terrain. It works exactly the right muscles, gives you both cardio and strength training, and develop the needed calluses on your hands. Mental toughness? This terrain may look relatively easy, but remember the camera rarely shows how steep the hills are, it gets much harder when it rains, and you have to ride this terrain for four days. There will be plenty of steep climbs and descents, so be sure to work on those. And don't focus too much on speed, develop your skills at slow technical riding. Top riders like Graham Jarvis and Taddy Blazusiak agree that to ride fast you first need to learn how to ride slow for Red Bull Romaniacs. Learn how to conserve energy, by making the bike do the work for you. Arguably the world's hardest extreme enduro, Red Bull Romaniacs probably has the toughest prolog as well. The dreaded car tyres are back in the Black and white and minefield sections. If you can avoid the holes riders will be fine in the Red Bull Romaniacs Prolog, but the logs and rocks make it hard to do that. And the rail road?
