Group Skills - 15th December

Group Skills is a chance to learn and share our group riding skills so that we can ride together more safely, more sociably and with less effort. This is a great opportunity for current and prospective members to build on skills, especially for those unable to find a place in the Introductory Rides.

If you are a prospective club member, completing this course will allow you to join ICC

We will look at communication skills and formations such as pace line and two up, plus how to pace/lead the ride from the front and rotate being at the front.

Note that we will adjust the level depending on the level of who shows up.

If you know all this, come and share your knowledge and if you don't, come and take advantage of the sharers.

If you are new to the club and wish to become a member you will need to complete either a Group skills or an Introduction to club cycling training session. Please make yourself known to the ride leader so they can confirm your attendance to our membership manager.

Meet in the Regents Park Inner Circle, at the big gates opposite York Bridge.

Any more takers?

I won't be in London, otherwise I'd be there for support to make a big enough group!

Hello

I would like to join the Club. I am an experienced but unfit rider who has recently moved to London. I would like to come along this Saturday to your group skills session.

My details are: Keith Marsden, age 58. Mobile 07854 580369.email [email protected]

Many thanks

I’ve suggested bringing it forward to 08:00 and joining a C group. We can go through all the theory stuff in the warmth of the cafe afterwards.

That's a good idea. If it works for our two possible takers then we could perhaps meet a little ahead of time ? Mind you, I'm usually late and tag onto the back of the first ICC group that I can catch up with......

Hi @Nathanlustgarten , how do you fancy meeting at 08:00 for an hour of 2 up C pace riding followed by a chat over coffee and croissants?

Hi mike! Definitely! Sounds good to me my friend! See you at 8am Saturday! Where at regents park? Same spot as before?

Hi Nathan, we meet at the Zoo Entrance on the Outer Circle. We usually roll out at 08:00 so if you can be there for around 07:50 that would be great. Cheers, Mike

Hi Mike and Nick

Thanks for your help today and I look forward to joining the club and riding with you guys.

Cheers Keith

👍 you’re welcome Keith. Hopefully you’ve also had a glimpse of how open and friendly ICC is. Look forward to getting out on a ride in the near future. 🙂 Mike
