Negoiating a hair-pin turn

[Catrin]

Have you done the turning drill where you put something (like a water bottle) on the ground and steer around it? Like, to turn left, your front wheel would go to the right of the bottle and your back wheel would go to the left of it? Doing that a few times helped me get more of a feel for how the bike handles switchbacks and it helps me visualize the center of the turn to learn how to steer through it.

I have done this, but frankly the turns probably weren't tight enough...it sounds like a good drill to return to.
