Braking and accelerating Get people up on the coté in groups of 4-5, riding at 15-20 km/h. The lead rider unpredictably accelerates and unpredictably slows down. The job of the following riders is to not get dropped in the accelerations and to manage the situation of having someone slam on the brakes in front of them by breaking and moving slightly up track. Every 4 or 5 laps the lead rider drops down onto the apron, and the rider on the apron moves onto the back of the group. Continue until everyone has had a chance in front. As the drill progresses get people to make harder and harder accelerations and do harder and harder backpedaling. As a variation, have people do the drill while up out of the saddle. |
