| + | ====== Time Trials Sponsorship ====== | ||
| + | We are pleased to announce Leisure Lakes Bikes are sponsoring the Thursday evening time trials this summer. The prizes are vouchers to be spent in their shop, at the top of Penny Street in Lancaster, and they are to be awarded as shown in the tables below. The reason there are two tables is that there will be two presentations, one mid-season and one at the end. Depending on the weather we are also planning a mid-summer BBQ at the TT Presentation on 20th June.\\ | ||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | In the first, on 20th June, there are prizes for fastest and second fastest over each of the three distances. \\ | ||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | There is also a unique prize for Best Gauged at each distance - which means the ride that produces the most consistent lap times - but it must be one in which you are trying a good, fast time. This prize highlights the time-triallist’s ability to judge and maintain a steady effort.\\ | ||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | Awards at the end of the season are similar but with extra prizes for those who improve the most between the first and second half of the season. \\ | ||

| + | ====== Big Changes to Cog Set Sessions - Starting 30 March 2013 ======= | ||
| + | Because the club has grown so much we had problems fitting everyone in on some Saturdays last year so we have also made a change to the way we do Cog Set. From now on we will have two coached sessions each week. This will free up some track space and means that groups training on Saturdays will have more space and the opportunity to do more than they have before.\\ | ||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | If you are a BC Category E, D or C rider (under 8, 10 or 12) keep coming on a Saturday morning, same time, same place. We will have coaching and races just like before but now we will have more track to use and fewer riders to each coach so Cog Set will get even better - if you can imagine that! \\ | ||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | Anyone who is a Category A or B rider (under 14, Under 16) or Junior (under 18) and attended the recent pre-season residential weekend will be in the Monday evening session (18:30 start) from now on (starting 1st April). Riders in categories A, B and Junior that didn’t attend the residential will start in the Saturday morning sessions with a view to quickly moving to Mondays as coaches assess their ability and attitude to racing. The Academy group (which will meet on Mondays) will be dedicated to race training. For those A/B/Juniors that are not interested in racing we will also have the option to come on Saturdays and enjoy activities aimed at the non-competitive cyclist. We hope to offer some more led-rides this year but we do have a limited number of coaches and ride leaders so bear with us on that.\\ | ||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | Don’t forget the other two activities each week – circuit races for all categories on Wednesday and Time Trials on Thursday.)\\ | ||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | Each rider will have a record of the skills that they have developed and this will be used by the coaches to help them help each rider to progress as they should and work on the bits they might not do so well yet. Once a rider has completed all the skills for a level they will be invited by the coaches to move up a group. Moving groups isn’t compulsory but we do want to see people improving and developing. It’s a lot to remember but we will put all the information in separate documents so that it is absolutely clear who is doing what. \\ | ||
