Thirteen hardy riders braved the icy temperatures for our first coached session of the year. The session focussed on stopping and pace, riders had plenty of opportunities to practise stopping and starting without putting their feet down. We also practised continuous riding on a figure of eight circuit where the objective was to negotiate other riders without stopping,just adjusting speed. This was a challenging activity requiring both skill and bravery but the KVK made it look simple. Great riding from everybody in particular Sam and Max who worked hard to improve their skills. We finished off with some sumo games before rushing off to warm up.
We have two young volunteers this term, Jacob, who has recently completed a course with British Cycling and Victoria who is helping out as part of her Duke of Edinburgh Award, it is great to have them on board, I'm sure they will enjoy working with us.
Next coached session: Saturday 19th January 1.45pm
