For the Cinderella conditioning series, Meredith Nielsen with Wenzel Coaching will host 3 basic skills sessions that will take only 15 minutes.  These sessions will take place before the regularly scheduled rides and are geared to helping everyone become a better rider.  This is important because there is more to riding a bike than just pushing on the pedals!  Learning and practicing fundamental bike skills can help make your riding safer and more fun both as an individual and for others in the ride group.  Learning to develop smooth and efficient pedaling can make you less tired at the end of a long ride. Proper use of your brakes and good cornering techniques can help you feel more confident when descending.  Sound individual skills will make you a better riding companion on group rides like the Cinderella.  Please take a moment to read “Rules of the Road” and “Pack Riding Skills” under Download on www.valleyspokesmen.org  Contact Meredith for any individual training needs and please thank her for volunteering her time to teach our group how to ride efficiently and safely.  Watch for Skills dates to be announced.  For more information, contact Meredith at mer@merhal.com  Additionally, Meredith will announce via eMail to the VS group the details of her 5-hour long bike skills trainings as they are scheduled.

3 sessions will be held 15 minutes before roll time in the Newcomers area.
