This week Tanya Bosche ran a very
professional and instructional workshop and the juniors got a lot
out of it. These workshops are open to all juniors. So come
along and join in, as they are 'Come Along and Try' Days
sanctioned by Cycling Australia.
The next Tanya Bosche
Skills Workshop will be on Saturday 13 November, 2004.
This will be the last for year so try not to miss it.

gives the Juniors some instructions prior to the activities |

First activity for the
day was picking up a traffic cone from the ground whilst still moving.
Left Ben Grant, of Southern Cross club makes it look fairly easy. Right,
Ben's sister Bonnie also does it fairly easily as coach Tanya looks on. |
 |
|
|
|
|
 |
Left Ben Elliot does it
like a pro. It was a little harder for the taller juniors as they
had to bend down a little further. Right Emma Jones completes the
task pretty easily. |
 |
|
|
|
|
 |
Left Matthew Weetman
initially had all kinds of troubles with this skill but eventually he
worked it out. Right Seamus Dowd had no problems at all and took
them on with a full head of steam. |
 |
|
|
|
|
 |
Left Hugh Stewart
masters the art of picking the witches hat off the ground whilst riding
your bike with one hand. Right Taylor Weetman made it look easy
and was frustrating the hell out of her older brother, Matthew who just
could not get it at first. |
 |
|
|
|
|
 |
Tim Duncan left does it
easily. In fact Tim and some of the others got so good at it that
they were putting the hats back on the way back. Another expert Sam
Harrison right. |
 |
|
|
|
|
 |
Left, another expert
Jordan Moore. Right, the kids wonder what torture Tanya has in
store for them now. |
 |
|
|
|
|
 |
Well it didn't take
them long to work that out. Next activity was "The Limbo" on
bikes. Left Ben Elliot only just makes it through to the next
round. Right Jordan Moore shows great skill in ducking right down below
the rope. Bonnie behind him tucked right down as well as missed
the rope by (over a foot) about 300 mm. |
 |
|
|
|
|
 |
Left Ben and Emma make
it easily to try again. Right, Ryan Clarke used the "Over the
Handlebars" method to scrunch down under the rope. |
 |
|
|
|
|
 |
Left the rope is
getting low now and Taylor and Seamus show great skills using the "Side
Saddle" method to go through to the next round. Right, Hugh Stewart uses
the "Bum on tyre" method. We don't recommend this method to all
riders |

|
 |
Left, bad luck Ben Elliot, You're out !! |
|
