Winter chain gang 4

[xrayspecs]

7 PM tonight ; the boards have been removed so there is a clear route down the home straight, right at the roundabout; and back.

[Andy H]

I'll be along to help out with a novices/25ers group if anybody wants to join in.

As I've said before we won't worry too much about the pace, these early sessions are about practice

and technique, ( but we are getting faster as promised, so don't miss out )

[Steven]

... except they switched the street lights off on the return leg last week and I hit two potholes.  I propose the usual route, we managed it fine last week..


PS will be on the way back from London, will join late!

There are traffic lights back on North Road again

I'll join in with you this week if that is ok Andy. Not sure what shape I'll be in after a week in Cyprus all inclusive.

With traffic lights on the back straight decided to split into small groups. 4:5:4 seemed to work well, with the 'C' group of novices supported by Richard and myself improving again. Within 3 weeks they've gone from struggling to get 8 laps in, to being close to getting under an hour. I'm sure we'll manage that with a little more help. Anymore novice/25ers out there wanting a good hours training?
Well done to both Nick and Carrie, and thanks to Richard B

[Terry A]

So, for the 'medium' goup .... no real issues on the circuit - metal plates gone and the traffic lights on North Road were ignored if nothing coming. The quintet of Nick, Will, Lea, James & myself worked fine and the 8 laps were quite consistent and smack on the informal / unmeasured / undeclared target.

[RichardB]

Enjoyed that tonight - well done all.

[Carrie H]

C group, many thanks to Andy & Richard for the encouragement , occasional push and advice re corners. Enjoyed the session, lovely and dry without wind. I really couldn't have gone any faster tonight , but under an hour actually seems achievable !!!! Tired now.!
