23/02/20

This specific Club Cluster of Coaching is going to be focusing on your Bunch Racing Skills and Tactics on the track. This should then hopefully prepare you for upcoming events such as The Ice Breaker Series, Mini-League and more.

We are going to be videoing the exercises and the showing the riders them to improve the quality of the feedback and to encourage the riders to think about how to improve their own performance.

We will then be delivering an educational workshop to the riders to teach them how to check their track bike, how they can fix simple problems (E.g. Pump up tires) and start familiarizing the riders with the names of specific parts of the bikes.
