Another simple Go Ride session to get everyone back in the saddle. Short & sweet with minimal equipment but very enthusiastic coaches all fully equipped with whistles 😆.
We kicked off with some more Whistle Stop drills but incorporated the leaning technique that we tried out last week. Then it was into two groups to continue work on group riding. Chris, Hannah & Jez worked with the older riders;two loose groups rolling round and sprinting from one to the other, then some Peel The Banana and Thread The Needle. Good controlled riding from everyone. Andrew & Gavin worked with the younger riders, focussing a bit more on the basics of good cornering, pedalling and speed control, before working on group riding too.
We all took a quick break and re-fuelled on Custard Creams before moving onto our Endurance Block. Using the team time trial grouping that we introduced last week, riders had to complete the loop, keeping their group to together and regularly switching position within the group. To make it a little harder, we added a baton (a water bottle or teddy) that had to travel within the group too; ideally from the back rider to the front rider but some of the groups interpreted this a little differently!
To finish the session, each group ditched their baton and completed a lap of the course flat out.
A great session and all packed up and put away before the rain set in!
Next Week: Off Site Ride to Col de Coldharbour, booking as usual via RiderHQ
