Group skills course this week, Mon, Wed, Sunday 6:00 am

Post by Lister Farrar »

Monday Wed and Sunday 6-7:30 am, Beacon Hill Park and Windsor Park

Who's it for? Anyone who wants to do group rides. It's drills and skills to get used being close to others, how to draft and to lead someone drafting you, and how to corner with a group.

The skills all come from racing, but are selected and presented about riding with others safely. It's best to have these skills before you ride with a group or race.

Details: http://www.tristarstraining.com/files/Riding.pdf
Registration: http://www.tristarstraining.com/files/RidingForm.pdf

Post here or email me at listerfarrar(at)telus.net to hold a spot and make sure we have enough to run the course.

So far Paula and Chris have indicated interest. Need at least 3 more, maximum of 8 per class. Previous registrants welcome to attend for review for free.

$60

Paula, I haven't heard from Chris or the two Tristars folks who were interested. Unless we can round up 5, we'll have to postpone.

Hi all:
This week’s course will not go ahead; lots of interest but not enough confirmations.
Maybe next week?
Monday, Wednesday Saturday, 6:00 am.

Let your friends know. I need 5 to go ahead; need a group for group skills, eh? :) maximum of 8.

Cheers
Lister

Please post if you're coming. Paula will be very disappointed if it doesn't go again. :)

okay... let's not rely on anyone being concerned about me being disappointed...let's put it down as this: You can help Paula to be a safer better rider so you don't feel nervous that she is going to do something that might cause you to crash, not warn you about that nasty hole (bunny, deer or soon to be present on our ride cougar chasing deer or bunny)... so it is for the collective good that this course runs!!!

Any more takers????

Okay, if that doesn't work... please, pretty pretty please... I can't offer any bribes, but a fruit crisp, some time hanging out with a 5 year old, lending you our triple kayak... sorry, I have pretty slim pickings to offer.

I'd love to get in on this, but next week is really bad for me. Any chance you'll be offering it again?

Looks like we have 5. Others welcome. Monday am, Beacon Hill Park, Petting Zoo parking lot, 6:00 am. First session is not too much exercise (perfect for post-cross race recovery Quentin ;)), skills only, so wear an extra layer. The other two are more active.
