The first few rides of the year are often the most dangerous—not because the roads have changed, but because your skills have. After a few months off the bike, your timing is off and your muscle memory has slowed down, costing you the precision you need in a tight spot. In this video, we’re performing a "Spring Tune-Up" using the MCrider Field Guide to shake off the rust. We will walk through three essential drills—the Slow Race, the Swerve, and Emergency Braking—to recalibrate your control and ensure your skills are sharp enough to rely on when it matters most.
