Group Skills - 10 September 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

Looking forward to it! :)

Hi

If anyone drops out and a place comes up let me know! Is there a waiting list?

Hi @Izzy I have just added some more spots for this session, so feel free to sign up.

Also would like to know if a spot opens up! Cheers

I've just increased capacity further, but will not be adding anymore beyond 25 spots.

Look forward to meeting you all in a few weeks!

Hello everyone! I can't go to this ride so I open my spot to someone that wants to come!

Keen to join this ride if a space opens up

Please keep me in mind if a space opens up.
Many thanks!

I'm also keen for a spot if anyone drops out! Thanks!

I can no longer make this so opening my spot up!

Hey, I’d love to join if any spaces

Edit: Sorry I can't make it actually

Keep checking, as people tend to drop out as the date approaches. Fully booked for now!

Hi @user116409 @Alex27 @NicWilson @Haz @Adewale @EmSendall @howardillger @LisaM @BryonyL @Sylvia @SebastianH @user116502 @JamesBashford @Elliott510 @James_P @PeterWBrown @Gaurang @userHUS @Simonzi @RezG @Courtney_Pietersen @Saskia_M @lRushton @Steven @dispirito

I hope you are all excited for our Group Skills sessions this Thursday evening. Weather is looking nice as well. Please bring lights, as sunset is now ~7:30pm, so this session will be finishing as it is getting dark.

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 and there are others waiting that would love a spot. (If you reserve a spot but fail to attend we reserve the right to limit your future attendance).

Look forward to seeing you all on Thursday.

If you would be able to change your username to something a little more recognisable, it will help us greatly with managing attendance and membership processing. Thanks
