Kingdom Go Ride - 23rd March 2019

One of the things I love about Kingdom is it gives us a chance to try new and different things with our riders. That gives them new and different ways to impress the coaches!

We tried a track drill today down on the natural velodrome.  We split riders into teams of three or four, with two of riders resting 'high' and two racing as a team 'low'.  Throw into the mix the slightly organic nature of the velodrome and the varying abilities and speeds of the groups and the likelihood of this succeeding seemed very low!

Enter the KVK..............it took a while but after a few attempts all the groups managed to communicate effectively and pace their efforts to get their riders working as a really efficient team.

The yellow team got their act together quickly

Close the gap Finn and look behind you Zach!

Calvin seems pleased with part of the session :-)

Happy bike riders

That was the highlight of the session for me.  I think the kids really enjoyed practising pushing another rider up the hill, or maybe I just imagined that :-).

We finished off with a team relay; you can never go wrong with bibs, bells and flags.

Next week we'll be running some more fun racing at Kingdom, Penshurst.
