Session Notes

AM swims switch to 6am start on Tu / Th for youth.
NO cycling on Tues for YOS until the Spring. They can still attend yoga.

SAFETY FIRST. We cycle primarily on the track on Fridays. Safety presides over speed. We focus on bike handling skills, transitions (on / off bikes, walking / running bikes) and other safety skills. Please, remind your athletes that it is their responsibility to be alert, ride safely, and show respect to others first and foremost. We are NOT focused on speed at this time!

BRING A BIKE LOCK. We have a bike railing / rack fastened to the outside of the equipment bin (20ft long). We lock bikes while athletes swim. Please, bring your own lock if possible. (We will have cable locks as well).

WEAR SHOES THAT YOU CAN TAKE OFF / PUT ON EASILY!! That means a lot of transition practice (shoes / equipment on and off, on and off, on and off!) Please, make sure that athletes wear shoes that can be taken off and put on again easily. Elastic laces are worth investing in. We do barefoot running and games, so be prepared to have some wet socks and shoes if it is raining!!! Pack your gear accordingly.

Reminders

Parents and athletes are responsible for bikes being in working order. Please tuned them up and check prior to riding (brakes (&*^%*!), stem, handlebars, seat, gears, pedals, wheels (spin), and tire pressure). It is not the coaches’ responsibility to do bike maintenance and this detracts from the cycle time for all athletes.

All Athletes who ride with Barb and Rachael NEED to bring the following to EVERY cycle, please:

spare tire
portable pump
gloves
appropriate riding clothes for the weather (remember it is 3-6 degrees COLDER in the wind when cycling!)

Please, keep ALL COACHES posted on injury status, fatigue levels, and training in other sports (school, AM/PM etc.) as we all see you at different times. Thanks!!
