Okay.. while its fresh in my head.
Arrived 5 or so minutes late.. almost automatic fail.
burrr its cold....
First drill is riding in a single pack taking half lap changes on the front.
Second drill is the same only working in pairs with the insideman on the blueline, then pulling up into single file.
Third drill was a reverse chain gain
Fourth drill was working in a pack of four to catchup a lap on the main group.
Was really hard to hold the wheel on the man in front, lots of slowing and speeding up - really hard to read.
The pack was either not talking at all or over doing the calls.
Lots of concentration needed, especially in the dark and the cold.
Still worked up a bit of a sweat, was marked down on having my hands on the hoods, accelerating too hard off the front and not making my half lap changes directly on the line.
In the end tho... Passed.
