in association with Melbourne Bicycles Hanging Rock Handicap
A series of hands-on skills sessions with qualified coaches, aimed to prepare you for the February handicap race. Whether you intend to race or not, whether you are starting your road racing journey or already have heaps of experience, there will be something for you.
These sessions are about practising new skills in a safe and friendly environment. So far we've covered bunch riding, fast rolling turns, breaking away and merging. In subsequent sessions we will be trying different race scenarios and tactics, what to eat and how to prepare. We will also cover bike set-up and how to fix things if something goes wrong, with some basic mechanics in a separate session(s).
You don't have to have been to previous sessions - join anytime!
Numbers will be limited to allow maximum benefit to participants. We will have 2 coaches per session for the riding sessions, catering to different levels.
There will be at least 6 skills sessions. Each session will have a separate sign-up.
