Back to Basics Training course 1st July 2006Last weekend, Alaric took a course for our Greek friends.It involved breakfast at the Thomas Beach Hotel Dina cooked us a little bacon and egg to go with our bread and jam, ham, cheese and coffee. We then loaded the bikes into the trailer and we loaded into the pajero for the drive up to Agios Petros. Alaric took lessons in effective gear changing/discipline, effective braking, cornering ascending and descending and changes of gradient/drop-offs. Back to Nea Makri for a swim in the pool and lunch followed by some maintenance tips - fix the gear noise on Kostas' bike and oil it. We also answered the burning question; What does Alaric keep in his rucksack? Here are the photos Here's what a couple of the guys said about the course.
