​ Knowing how to break down a race track or new bike trails can be difficult, especially when preparing for a raceday and wanting to ride a trail at your ‘race pace’! Line choice isn’t always clear, and there is often multiple lines to choose from which are required for different situations. Anna Cipullo is joined by Becci Skelton at Llangollen Bike Park to help explain how to tackle downhill trails, whether you’re looking for flat-out speed at all costs or the safest route!
