Cross training - 20th October

That time again, the usual drill so a mix of short races with some skills sessions in between.

It was dismounts and remounts last week, open to suggestions for this week.

Cornering - that left hand corner by the tree or something similar, so down hill technically challenging/grow a pair corners?
chase fest in between the trees
dismounts / remounts - it can't hurt right?
chase fest - hopefully on the first course we ever did?

braking? I dunno what i mean here, but I'm pretty sure i scrub more speed off than necessary, and / or brake too early/late.

chase fest on the long tt section?
get dicked by sam up anerley?

compare down jackets at the pub.

I had a short bike handling training session on Hyde Park this morning.

Don't call me Sven.

Braking and cornering sound good. Pick a tight corner(s) and watch each other handle it and provide feedback. Try to push the speed to the point of failure to gain (and hopefully not lose) confidence. Pick a sweeping corner, repeat the above.

we should all do an off-road ride. L2B off road?

I'll be MIA again this thursday - picking up keys to new home!

Yes to an off-road ride of some length - L2B off road would be funishment.

I want to fall off this session.

@dommyracer : congratyluations.

@Graham : yes.

Congrats Dommy

I shall consult the ride planner and out up a date.

I've done an East Croydon to Brighton off-road a few times. It's good fun.

Aim for a dry spell. That epic Downs Link section would be a bit of a slog in the mud.

Congratulations Dommy!

Can't make it this week :-(. Have to drop car off at garage so they can work on it on Friday.

I've just realised, Alex is in Barce-fucking-lona.

OUT.

Bedwetting all round.

oof!

Don't get angry

argh!!! :)

Can't find a CX thread. Was there one?

Who is going to Herne Hill on Sunday?

I'm not sure, you could start one though...

Started a season thread here - https://csgrupetto.microcosm.app/convers­ations/294619/

@Ricky, if that's the wrong place can you move it?

So I'm assuming this is off tonight and won't be attending.

Especially as I managed to wipe out at Bethlem earlier, and took a fairly heavy landing on my right hand side. At least it shows I was trying.

Ooof. Hope it's nowt serious.

Payback perhaps for yesterday's Facebook video? LOL

Why am I the only bugger who's signed up for Sunday? Do you wait til the last minute to freak out the opposition?

Took a blow to my right thigh which is a bit tender.

I kept forgetting to enter, I've just done it now, thanks for the prompt.

Hope that loosens up b4 Sunday. Chaps for pushing hard.

No go for me tonight or next week. Gonna be in "sunny" Wales.

Me neither. My bikes will probably be in boxes.
