Adrian will be continuing some of the lessons learnt from Ride Leader Training:
- Better communication of issues and hazards, all the way through the group, from front to back, and vice versa
- Looking back to check what's happening
- Tight group riding, flats and hills, riding to the pace of the slowest riders
- Staying 2 abreast
- No one riding off the front, unless on pre-designated, pre-agreed, sprint points (flats or climbs)
