The rain dance worked (just) and we managed a good Go-Ride session in the dry and an off-site assault of Col de Coldharbour by some of our experienced riders.
Go Ride
The focus of our session today was riding one handed (and none handed in some cases) and nailing that essential bike skill of rear observation. While Damian got his off-site group organised we ran a quick skills check on the field; lots of waving and high fiving followed by a none handed demo from Kieran that saw him ride up and down the field and round the goal posts taking requests for shapes from the crowd.
Then we split into smaller groups to practise. The younger riders checking behind them to identify coloured cones while older rider checked out the bike Jenga.
After a quick break, we ran a ten minute endurance challenge and then there was just time for a quick head to head relay. As we finished Damian and the others returned from Col de Coldharbour; good riding, no punctures was the order of the day.
