Had a great mtb ride yesterday (even if I did have a small endo). It has become apparent that I need to address my little problem with switchbacks. I am so conditioned now to stopping for them that my body automatically stops I did, however, roll through a couple of them.

I am unsure right now if the problem is "simply" in my head or if I am doing something mechanically wrong like not looking far enough ahead, or going too slow/too fast but generally what happens is I wind up off the trail in sketchy stuff.

I love the trail we rode yesterday, but there are a couple of places where I have to stop. I intend on taking care of that. I seem to be fine with handling roots and rocks (at least on that trail), but the switchback and armored crossing in curves are a problem.

Any advice on how I can deal better with switchbacks? Part of me wonders if it is as simple as not having the right combination of speed and brakes to get around...
