Advanced Rail Drills

 

Get people to go to the rail at a two bike length separation.  Then get other people to go to the rail in between the gaps.  Decrease the separation to a bike length and a half.  Explain to riders that when there is no more room at the rail they can come up beside other riders and grab their top tubes or stems or reach across to the rail.  Get them to practice doing this.  As a final drill, get everyone to line up at the start line, the first rider grabbing the rail, the second rider grabbing the first rider, and so on down to the bottom of the track.  From this position riders start in order from the lowest to the highest.
