Women's road circuit coaching sessions

Looks amazing ... but on a weekday (sigh).

Yes. Impossible to get circuit time at weekends and evenings unfortunately (plus the clashes with racing opportunities).
Market research suggested enough people would be able to attend a midweek session.

I'd be up for this, if a train down wasn't going to cost over £100! Curse living up north...

Cheers for posting this, RPM. Definitely worth taking a day off work just for the cornering coaching alone.

Do it Bothwell!
I've signed up already.

I'm at a wedding on 1st date and then hols for second but nice one for organising this! Please keep us in the loop if future sessions run.

Looking forward to hearing how these sessions go too!

Some people could potentially get away with taking only a morning off I guess. Session finishes at 1230.

Balls to that. I'm taking three days off and my work can just deal. :-)

Thanks for the info. Can't do these but would definitely do other opportunities. Nice and local to me too.

@betty if you can get down here, you're welcome to say with me.

Bothwell just alerted me to this, I so want to do it but next tuesday is a no :(

I'm going to sign up for the 25th though, I can probably take the morning off and my colleagues will just have to deal with lycra-me in the afternoon.

Online entry now up for the second date:

Cheers again for posting this up, RPM. I went today with Ada and it was excellent. The chap barely batted an eyelid when I turned up for a road coaching session on a fixed wheel whip with spoke cards and owls all over it. Flipped the wheel to ss and had a great afternoon hooning it up and down the circuit. I'm still rubbish at corners but a lot happier about riding much closer to other people. A++ session, would ride again.

It was really good. Will sign up for the next one if i'm around on that date.

I was knackered from riding last night and didn't enjoy sprinting at the end of the session.

Holls, did you ride back with other girls?
I took a central line - all the way back to west london.

If anyone's thinking of using public transport to get to redbridge for the next session - i took an overground to stratford and then changed to central line without any problems.

owls

Nobody said anything about owls!

There's a surcharge for displaying depictions of birds of prey during BC coaching sessions. (They are encouraged though).

I've signed up for the next session and will be careful to remove all the owls and cats from my bike beforehand...

Hilariously, I managed to get lost on the way out and had to foreveralone it back.

I wonder if BC do any coaching sessions on how to tell one's left from one's right.

Do owls and cats get on? They both have similar faces from the front, maybe they can mistake one for the other and hilarity ensues.

They went to sea in a beautiful pea-green boat, you don't get much better "getting on" than that!

Gpwm

Hats, pls. They didn't just go to sea, they actually got married on an island paradise. Don't write it off as a mere holiday romance.

I obviously couldn't think of any question during Q&A after the session but had at least 1000 in my head by the time i got home.
Always the same.

Email them to the coach. Maybe he will be able to answer them.
