http://evite.me/FejWJwzhvs Here are some notes from Coach Jesse:
All students are encouraged to get out and ride this week to stay fresh and ready for the upcoming race at Maskenthine. Get in some hill start practices if you can as the course up north has a steep start/finish. The course is about 3.1 miles/lap which is the same as two laps at Van Dorn. More about that later.
Practice this Thursday at BMX works well when the track is dry. Come to train with your mountain bikes. The track gives you the opportunity to practice pumping (when your arms and legs are smoked), side to side bike body separation to gain force and leverage, and many of our gold/silver riders need more work on cornering to maintain the most speed coming out of a turn. Let’s get a good workout Thursday under the lights. Can our older teammates set the tone and help the younger ones improve?
The weather for the Maskenthine race will be perfect. Your coaches will do all they can to support you. We have the 2:00 PM pre-ride time on Saturday. It is only a two hour drive from Lincoln and worth the trip. Watch for the full race weekend plan soon, but prepare yourself for success physically and mentally. Two races remain on our schedule. Let’s make the most of it and finish the season knowing we did our best.
One more note for the scheduled practice 10/26
Join your team for one last practice session at Van Dorn Park starting at 530 PM. Fun games with mini pumpkins and witches broomsticks. Complete a Trick of hill repeats and go home with stroopwaffle and hot cocoa Treats. It’s all in a good good night’s work. Bring front and rear lights for night riding until 730.
