This was posted by Dave Patmore Hill our Level 2 Coach and I know there are many members looking for this push out of bed over the winter months. We will be sticking to a good group principal of good training without leaving anyone behind.
Post on the FORUM if your interested in coming along.
From the beginning of January I will be starting group rides that will incorporate bike coaching. The plan will be to have a number of athletes of all abilities thatwill work together and in time improve everyones riding ability. The sessions will involve:
Group riding
Riding up/down hills - At speed
Correct Gear selection
Group etiquette - through and off, riding two abreast, drafting, etc etc
Cornering at speed
Basic skills to improve triathlon bike times (transitions)
I will am asking WHO will want to be part of this and what days they prefer..either a Sunday morning or Saturday morning?
My plan will be to start very basic (average 14-15mph) and build miles and tempo from there - 1st ride will be approx 2 hrs - With stops if needed.
If you are a speed freak and full of testorone please do not come along as it will wind you up! If you want to get better and prepared to listen to a qualified coach
the you are very welcome..... :)
Please mark your requests on this forum and I will post an update at the end of December. We will start the sessions from the Drill Hall in Oundle with the first ride witha 15 min cake stop.....they will stop fairly soon so enjoy them at first!
Any other ideas please post up on this forum....
Cheers
Dave
