Group Riding Skills Course

An opportunity to learn some group road cycle skills today by Caroline Stewart of CSC Coaching.

We met up at Edgebarrow School in Crowthorne and in the 4 hours, actually cycled 12 miles in the school playground.

Great fun. Caroline taught us to improve our cornering techniques, ride closely in pairs, then in a group of 12, keeping as tight as possible whilst maneuvering around several bends.

Then onto some peloton riding techniques "moving through the group" to get to the front, and "Through and off" for continual rotation of the lead bike. A bit like learning Scottish country dancing at times!! As in, it can all go horribly wrong unless you were paying attention.

A few snaps from the day. Trying to get 11 cyclist staying close AND fit them all into one photo is not easy!!

Thanks to Caroline and also Phil for a fun morning.
