Can't Stop the Hop!

Excellent advice, eteamer! No one has ever described it that way. One of the things I did this fall was a running drill where I ran with the left and hurdled (like I was remounting) with the right. I somehow thought that would fix it but no. Ah well, keep trying.

I've got barriers to practice with. They're PVC tubing and portable so I can take them out in a bag to train. They're even UCI height (ugh). Barriers aren't an issue for me, just the darn hop.

Just try it slow at first. I remember telling myself to 'WALK!' as I was learning it. Exagerate the whole process. Before you know it is second nature. You also need to remember what part of your body is aiming for the saddle. It's the inner thigh. Although, sometimes I still miss! I especially hate it when I land on the back tire.
