The weather looked like it might be a bit sketchy on Wednesday night but luckily we woke on Wednesday to a balmy 4 degrees and only moderately damp roads.
What I find really great and important in this squad is our ability to stay in contact so we know who is coming, its certainly helpful for me if i know early who is coming along. Whats also good is our policy that if its unsafe or sketchy we will switch up the training plan - there's just no reason to take unnecessary risks or make training into something scary. Tuesday was a great example of that and ended up being one of the funnest sessions I have had in a while.
Riding in the bunch were: Me, Weaves, frizzle, cheska and our honorary girls for the session (read: windbreaks) hipster and gribble.
For safety we changed the session which was orignally to be repeated reps of Red Hill to a more friendly (but still hilly) route. First we rode from ANU over the bridge for two reps of the short climb between old and new Parliament House.
We then continued up Melbourne Ave with a sprint at the beginning and end (the middle got a bit slower).
Continuing along Mugga way to the end and back we worked on a rolling pacelin, communication and some efforts on the last pitch. We regrouped on the way back down Mugga and finished with one Red Hill Rep just as it was getting light, and were greeted with big smiles from Jane, Ross and Lee who were working hard on the hill when we arrived.
Looking forward to Thursday's session!
