Because biking is more fun when you are improving we want to regularly test athletes using a Time Trial loop on Valley Vista. We will be testing them on both uphill and downhill skills to see how they re progressing. That way coaches can know what skills to focus on.
Thanks to the help of some coaches on the team we have built a custom app we call Thor! It will help us coach better and give valuable insights for improvement.
To get ride data into Thor you will need a Strava account which is free. We understand that some parents may have concerns with getting their kids a phone or Strava so we have prepared this guide that goes over how to use the app without requiring a phone and limiting the usage of Strava.
Athletes in groups 9-12 will need to do two laps of the BV Time Trial back to back. This is to test endurance and pacing, which is needed during the race.
