Tripleshot Cycling

With Windsor Park coming up Sunday, and a criterium on a flat circuit with 3 x 90 degree corners at Dove Creek, I was thinking we should do a version of our drills, with corners on the Windsor circuit. How would Friday am be, instead of the normal route?

We can take turns watching for cars. We can start with the Friday drill, and switch to smaller group intervals if necessary. If too many want to to it, we could do two mornings, say Thursday and Friday.

Love it. I suck at cornering. I could do both mornings. Spotting and riding.

Sounds like a great idea. I'll be there either Thurs or Fri. Shall we meet at Windsor at 6?

I would encourage all my fellow C riders to come out for this one. Hugely beneficial in building skill and confidence on corners in a group!

I will come out for Windsor practice Thursday and/or Friday. Meet at ???? I am doing the Windsor Crit , C race July 8 and possibly also July 22. So come on out C and B riders. And Thanks Lister for your ongoing time and energy to help us, new Tripleshot racers! pc

I don't have many cycling strengths but the one aspect I do master is cornering and cornering tactics. Years of competitive auto and motorcycle racing has given me a big advantage on that end.
A ton of confidence can be gained from understanding the physics of tire design and tractive grip force vs slip. The total grip % needs to be looked at in regards to acceleration, braking as well as cornering.
Race cornering tactics are pretty much the same for all wheeled sports. With a good feel for the dynamics, your safety improves and you'll be looking forward to challenging corners instead of dreading them.

Souns great Listar! I plan to do the Sunday crit and be there Friday (I am nursing--another--bad back which is why I have been missing practices)

I am out of town Friday and all of next week. I can do Thursday if it is on for that day?

Are we still on for tomorrow? Meet at Pareto at 6:00am?

I haven't heard back from Lister yet, but I just remembered that my bike is in pieces right now, so I will wait till Friday to try Windsor Park.

Barton and Paul seemed to be on for Thursday, but I'm not sure who else.

Sorry,

Eric

Alright, since it looks like no one has completely committed, I'll wait until Friday too.

It's on. Need more people though or we'll be marshaling corners for... nobody! Lol

(this post has been sitting on my phone for hours waiting for me to hit the submit button. Sorry. I will be there for anyone that wants to come though.)

Btw at Windsor at 6 Thursday. Tba where to meet Friday. Pareto to drag a few over?

I'm thinking we should meet at Pareto so people who don't read here regularly can have the option.

And no worry if anyone wants to stick with traditional Friday ride, or attacks and chases drill on that route.

Thanks alot Lister and to everyone who came out. Cornering can be very humbling, and I definitely have some work to do.

Lister, if you're interested in putting on a race skills course/training that focused on cornering, I would definitely sign up.

Or if anyone else feels like practicing once and awhile, let me know.

Thanks,
Gabriel
