We started off by going through nutrition information such as when and what we should eat before, during and after a ride.

We then went onto gears and what gearing we should use for certain areas e.g. for hill climbs, flats and down hill. This was particularly useful as we've been riding around Beverley and the surrounding areas (Newbald, Etton, Cherry Burton etc).

We then jumped on the turbo trainers to look at our position on the bike and made some adjustments if needed.

Overall, a great session as all of these areas contribute towards becoming a better cyclist!

Looking forward to trying out these skills on the road in my own time and on the group ride next week.
