A much reduced pack of 3 trainee mechanics this year due to illness and family issues attended the maintenance course.
Many portions of flapjack and quiche were consumed along with the best part of 6 hours of hands on maintenance of tandems leading 3 more competent and confident pilots able to assist with technical issues on the trail.
Once more the course was endured in near freezing conditions of our lock up so congratulations to the club kettle for ably providing a steady stream of hot drinks, they were essential in preventing early onset hypothermia. Next time we will choose a warmer month.
Another positive result of the course is that we have now ticked off all the outstanding maintenance tasks highlighted at our December clean up session.
Special thanks to British Cycling Limitless for funding additional tools and training equipment for this years course.
