Hi All,

It’s been a long time between newsletters. Sorry, I’ve been busy with coaching and work.

Firstly, I’ll be away next week so Wednesdays training will be conducted by Douglas Kirkham, our club president and father of Will.

Congratulation to our DHBC riders and their results at the NSW Junior Crit, TT and Road Championships. Especially Max for being selected for the NSW state junior road team.

Wednesday’s training focused on sprint drills after the structured warm up.
The advanced early group started with a 10 lap pace line then, what I’ll call, Chase the rabbit. Two riders, the first start then the second after a small delay. The first rider tries to not get caught, while the second rider tries to catch the first rider. Each pair swapped leads. The second drill was 500’s and we finish with a 3 lap wheel race. Grate to see Oscar and Alex holding off the older riders to come in 1 and 2 with Joe crossing third from scratch. Great work everyone.

The other early group, led by Alison, work on their Paceline skills, transferring their hands between the tops and drops and riding in a straight line while looking over their shoulder. Paceline skills are really moving along with all swinging off after a turn on the front and riding up the banking.

The late session started with a 15 lap Paceline. This was extended to about 25 laps as penalties for half wheeling or dropping off the track added extra laps. Next drill, Chase the rabbit over 1 lap. Followed by lead outs.
We ran out of time so a short warm down.
