Mt Diablo 5/27/06 -TE Girls' Hill Training Prog back in progress

[SadieKate]

Uh, Shadon, are you expecting a skills clinic on this ride going up Diablo? It's really a cardio training ride, no coaching or teaching expected. Everyone at his or her own speed or chatting companionably with another if that floats your boat that day.

Descending Diablo from the junction down could be a good place to teach someone descending skills, but the section from the summit to the junction could be terrifying for someone who doesn't have decent descending skills already. If you climb to the junction and wait for us. We could work with you on the way down, but truthfully it's better not to stand around waiting for people and then get on your bike and immediately start a high speed descent. Find a skills clinic. Find someone on the ALC ride and ask for pointers. Ask someone with good skills if they'll slow down so you can follow them.

Anyone have any good articles we could post in a separate thread? I'll start one.
