Coaching on Sunday morning was a little chilly but lots of fun. The 2 1/2 hour ‘RSR-inspired’ session got 9 riders working on bunch skills, changing ‘through & off’ in 2 teams across a narrow track, following a wheel through a bunch, riding close to each other etc.
There was a lot of pushing a shoving going on between some of the riders & all improved bike handling skills & confidence in a group. We finished the session with an elimination style road race, pace controlled by the ‘derny’ aka Ben on his bike. It was great to see riders using the width of the track to try and outwit each other & hold positions.
Big thanks to Martin Dawson for setting it all up. Looking forward to the next session already!
