New training session
« on: 08 September, 2011, 05:59:47 pm »
I call this the Raging Bull session.

You will need
- A plain jersey
- A set of traffic lights just before a long, uninterrupted road
- Some cycle traffic

Step 1)
Wait at traffic lights for a big, scary looking bloke rides straight through a red light

Step 2)
Wait for light to turn to green

Step 3)
Give chase

Step 4)
"Excuse me, but the red one means stop"

Step 5)
SPRINTSPRINTSPRINT!
(The adrenaline of a bloke twice your size shouting obscenities at you will help here)

Step 6)
Check under elbow to make sure that he's not too close

Here, you have two choices
a) Ease up the pace and hang about 20 meters in front of him
b) Ride the adrenaline wave and TT your way down the road

If you opt for a), you might want to keep an eye out for any surges in speed he might pull off.

Step 5) Ensure that this big burly bloke is not Chris Hoy.
