Back in the grind

Once back home, the training started up again in earnest: Grass track, team rides, weight lifting, indoor spinning. One of the hardest things we are doing right now is olympic weightlifting, where we jump with weight. It is hard to learn, because it is very technique intensive---however, it is loads of fun. In terms of grass track everyone is getting increasingly competitive in terms of headbutting, pushing and sheer verve when pushing through crowds of riders. This took a little bit of time to work up to for Amelia, but now she is more than capable of putting the old shoulder in when someone crowds her, or tries to sneak around her.
