friday track 25th Feb

3 on the track tonight Rich, Tom & me, 2 bellies on the fence. Good session as always, with the opportunity of even more input from PNECC at level 2 coaching - nice chat with Guy

Hi Dave,
The track session was just what the doctor ordered last night . The tempo effort you experience on the track is only ever matched by a good chain gang and as the weather conditions often prevent a chain gang then the track is the next best thing.

If anyone is hoping to race at the track this season then as a prelude i can't emphasise enough cutting your teeth on a Friday.

Practice in riding at speed and in close proximity to other riders is quintessential to developing safe skills. As club riders we are all expected to ride under these conditions albeit often at a slower pace but close none the less. Safety is maintained in a group by close riding and being reliant on your fellow riders to warn of danger. This is what separates us from undisciplined riders, preventing other road user intimidation and does not enrage folk with inconsiderate practices.

I do hope you get more takers for the Friday track Dave and i am sure that once the merits of the session become apparent then numbers will increase. Either that or the weather becomes warmer and people come out of hibernation.
