How to train your Dragon…..

…..well I thought it looked like a dragon!!!

For our latest combined Whizz Kids and Youth Development session we thought we would trial the lumps and bumps at the far end of the Market Harborough leisure centre grounds with a view to working on our hills climbing. To say it was wet underfoot would be an understatement with some parts being nothing more than a bog.

After some sprint warm ups we split into two groups with “guest coach” Kevin Mills working with Ian and Jade taking the older riders to work on the big lumps myself and Kevin N took the younger crew to work on, with a nod to the lunar new year, a Dragon with each part of its back getting higher up the slope.

Both sets of riders improved tremendously over the session gaining in skill and more importantly self confidence.

Naturally we finished with a bordering on chaos set of relays which I have no real clue on which team won!

I think we all agreed that the venue was a great success although we may be starting a pop up Whizz Kids Cafe next time.

Big thanks to the two Kevin’s, Ian and Jade for continued support.

see you soon
