Group Skills - 13 August 2020

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. Feel free to read our Group Riding Guide beforehand, but is not necessary as we will cover all this during the session: https://islington.cc/s/ICC-Group-Riding-­Guide-Updated-August-2020.pdf

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.

HOW DO I JOIN IN?

If you wish to attend this session you need to sign up to the ride here on the Islington forum.

Register as a user on the forum (please help us by creating an actual name rather than the default username) then click the 'Yes I'm Attending' button above to confirm your attendance. If you see no places left, it is because the session is full. We do not maintain a waiting list so please keep checking back in case a place becomes available.

Meet in the Regent's Park Inner Circle, at the big gates opposite York Bridge.

Zac,
Development Secretary

Hi @user113823 @fcb @Ben_M @user115994 @MicolB @LouisCozon @BenHC @user116215 @SamBurnett @Matthewnb @Alex27 @Baiba @Pete_C @JamieM86 @JonM

Look forward to seeing you all on Thursday! Hope you are all as excited as I am for our first Group Skills session since before lockdown.

If you are no longer able to make this session, could you please remove yourself from the attendee list to allow for others to join, as this session is now fully booked. (If you reserve a spot but fail to attend we reserve the right to limit your future attendance).

Also if you haven't already, could you please change your username from user123456 to something a little more recognisable, as this will help with membership processing.

Currently sunny at RP! And hopefully the rain will hold off. See you there regardless.

Fantastic to meet all of you this evening! Excellent to see so many out braving this bizarre weather!

Pics below, not sure if it was hazy or my camera lens needed a wipe!

Hope to see you all out on group rides / laps soon!
