3/28/2018 0 Comments Come and Try ConcludedThis year we have commenced our Pedal Prix training with a three week come and try program where people who are interested and have their parents support to attend Pedal Prix at Victoria Park can practice using the vehicles without having to make final commitment to attend until after the three week trial. It has been quite amazing to watch students new to the Middle School tentatively riding the vehicles for the first time. This really highlighted how far we came last year and the amazing progress that we were able to make as a group. The next step in our journey is to select an A and then a B team. This will be based on our initial assessment of riders proficiency and then we commence a program of time trialing riders on our Ravendale circuit. The test for our riders will be to clock their fastest time possible and then set personal improvement goals over the ensuing weeks. For example on our rides today the fastest rider completed a circuit in 1 minute and 13 seconds. This individual may then set a goal to race 1.11 seconds the following week and perhaps improve their understanding of how to manipulate gear changes to maximise riding efficiency. We are also using these time trials to establish a 'Performance' team and a 'Participation' team. Our performance team will race using our newly purchased (2017) trike and will be closely monitored on their individual track times with the ambition to finish in a strong overall ranking. Out participation team will also have a lap monitoring system in play but without the pressure of needing to maintain a place or ranking. These students may be first time riders or perhaps first time road users. Check out our latest training video below!
