Yesterday marked the completion of day 1 of our training in Gabes, Tunisia. With 5 enthusiastic girls in attendance, we started with the basics of biking, emphasizing the significance of proper positioning and technique. The session focused on mastering cornering techniques, including the selection of the best line to maneuver through corners both on the inside and outside. Next, we honed in on braking and lean angles, and the girls impressed us with their quick learning abilities. As we progressed, we introduced balancing exercises that allowed them to utilize their lower body to control and steer the bike more effectively. We ended the day by practicing on some rollers, while stressing the importance of takeoff and maintaining control over their bikes. Overall, it was a successful day filled with improvement and enjoyment for all. We eagerly anticipate tomorrow’s full day of learning and growth.
