Riding in pairs above the blue with lap changes, stacking, and slaloming, if I remember correctly.

Stage 4 - Everything you did in stages 1-3 bu this time with the coach telling you what he wants you to do, without telling you how to do it.
My advice FWIW.
Listen to the coaches instructions. If you are unsure, ask the coach to say again.Then once clear, repeat the task instruction to yourself a couple of times,Observe what other riders around you are doing and copy what is being done correctly and recognise what is not.
A few don'ts:
-Don't move off until told to do so. Easy mistake to make.
-Don't forget to listen to what the coach wants you to do, not what you think he wants you to do
-Don't forget those observational skills
-Don't slide your hand along the rail when slowing to a stop. Easy mistake to make.
-Don't clip out without holding on to the rail and only when told to do so. Easy mistake to makeAnd more importantly, don't forget to relax and enjoy yourself. Trust me, smiling really helps. NOT grinning.

^^ All the stuff above
I failed L4 twice and the consistent theme was following the wheel and pace control.
My advice is to concentrate hard on not just the rider in front but look ahead 2 or 3 riders (more if you can) to judge what's going on - and make it clear that you're looking ahead.It's a fine balance between concentrating enough to do it exactly right and relaxing enough to be able to it right.
I passed 3rd time btw and found the SQT more 'relaxed' ie. funGood luck !
If anyone has completed it
interested to know what people did in their Stage 4 of accreditation ?
