Katy Curd training day (Grown Ups)
Right then fellas.
i know a couple have shown an interest in a day at FoD with Katy for training, so i'm going to look to arrange it.
I guess mid Aug really, i'm happy with any days, weekday or weekend... But happy to try and accomodate you all too.
Based upon group training usually i'd say a max of 5 riders. So me and 4 others.
Who wants in ?

Re: Katy Curd training day (Grown Ups)
That comes down to what we ask for to a great extent. For me it's more trails/cornering than it would be for drops, jumps and gaps etc. I feel whereas once upon a time, jumps and drops were my weakest points, that cornering speed etc is more my weakness.
For my lad she worked first on body position, then reading trails, then combining that for corners etc. They later worked on jumps.
Knowing the guys who are likely to sign up for this i think they'll go along with the trails/cornering logic. Jumps, i'm sure will come into play at FoD at some stage, but as with everything, only if you want it to.
Re: Katy Curd training day (Grown Ups)
Just to throw in another option in case a day with Katy is difficult to / can't be arranged, Wye Mtb also work out of Pedalabikeaway and are excellent coaches, I did their Fod Flow course last year and is aimed at exactly what you're talking about. Cornering technique, manuals, small drops, finding grip, choosing lines, adverse cambers etc
I'm looking at doing their jumps and drops course soon as that will be taking me out of my comfort zone

My only issues is that i think you Standard would be somewhat north of mine. F0D from Brighton area is also about 4 hours ( sorry to be whiny - but i would do it but i would be knackered)
Does anyone have recommendations is the Sarf East?

It's training not racing, the who can do what or who can't do what isn't important. We're all middle aged fat blokes, we have very little to prove.
Regarding location, moving the forest is outside of my skillset, the trees are heavy.
Re: Katy Curd training day (Grown Ups)
Might be up for it, especially if we can make a full day of it (Not the training, riding in fod) I'm guessing you're looking at the speed and flow course.
I'll see how I get on at Rivington this weekend

My lad and his mates didn't do a 'course' as such, it was 3-1 with her and 'make them better' was the instruction, no more than that She's quite flexible with what people want and need etc.

That's pretty much the mo for Saturday, look at what I'm doing and look to fix what's wrong
