HPV TEAM UPDATE

Halfway mark of the term and we have had some incredible sessions back on track. Our experienced riders have led the way upon return with 6 students setting new PB sessions which have included consecutive 50+ lap stints, averages dipping below the 42 second mark, and from our grade 5 students 4 riders dropped below 39 seconds for the very first time at Tom Flood.

Along with our increased training loads, we have taken time out to visit Monash Human Powered as part of their HP outreach program, learning about 3D printing, rider development and Aerodynamics.

Our test and tune day has been a great success with the team working on developing effective communication from pit to rider across a session. Take a look at our sessions in action below.
