Let a pro help
I was earnestly trying to make time to do a “how to” series using professional advice, but was led to an excellent series of videos by former Tour de France rider and national champion Kevin Livingston.
There are several videos that cover the basics from how to ride up a hill to how to cycle with a partner. The videos are good quality and contain information that everybody can use. Besides, who wouldn’t want a little advice from somebody who’s ridden in multiple Tours?
In addition to his videos, you can mine Livingston for valuable training information in the flesh. He also trains many cyclists in Austin.
From his web site. … “In a 14-year career as a leading amateur and professional cyclist, through six Tours de France, and many more competitions, I’ve learned how to train for results and fun. I can coach at many levels, but at all levels I’ll be a committed partner and fully support you as you progress toward your cycling goals.
I’ve worked with many different coaches, sports physicians, physical therapists, sports nutritionists, and chiropractors, learning many of today’s most advanced techniques to help you achieve your potential.”
Anyway, his web site is a fantastic resource. It also means I don’t have to produce all those videos. Thank you Mr. Livingston.

Interesting the first video, the pedaling downhill that opened from your link looks like Mt. Bonnell. Also it would appear Kevin is in Mellow Johnnys. It looks like this was a local production. Now there’s an extra incentive to see if the other videos in the library are shot around Austin.
