12th June was a team track session, with training with the objective of working together to get the team of 3/4 round the track as soon as, without distancing anyone in the team. There were 4 adults and a good representation of 6 riders from the WVCC Whizz Kids and graduates thereof.
The skills involved add another layer to simply 'how fast can you go', through the essential nature of the communication through the team, and the finding of the best tempo for everyone, and the right mix of people taking the front for the right length of time. Get it right and the feeling is fantastic.
We need to think about how we can get a really well-knit team or teams together using these sessions, and find a suitable place for this group to enter competitions. Any ideas are very welcome...
