          &lt;p&gt;Many people run &amp;quot;spin&amp;quot; classes.&amp;nbsp; There's sessions done at gyms,  there's general sessions done by coaches, Personal Trainers (PT's, or  &amp;quot;cheerleaders&amp;quot; to the rest of us!) and so on.&amp;nbsp; The vast majority of  these sessions are essentially context free.&amp;nbsp; You roll up, you do the  session, get tired, feel good, go home.&amp;nbsp; Maybe there's some variables in  the sessions but on the whole they're pretty general and there's no  real progression or structure to them.&amp;nbsp; It feels good to be tired, so  it's doing some good ...&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What's different about our enduro ergo program?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It's  26 weeks long - that's right, six months.&amp;nbsp; It's not &amp;quot;drop in whenever  you want&amp;quot;, it's structured.&amp;nbsp; If you do the &amp;quot;A&amp;quot; stream from the start, it  builds up base in E3 then gradually inserts higher intensity intervals  and more race-specific drills through the 26 weeks.&amp;nbsp; You can attend  casually, and that's why we have a &amp;quot;B&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;C&amp;quot; stream to provide paths  into the &amp;quot;A&amp;quot; stream, but on the whole, you get much, much more out of it  if you attend for the entire 26 weeks. By the end of it you're able to  do things that would have killed you during the first few weeks.&amp;nbsp; We  know, we've been evolving the program since 2006.&amp;nbsp; Every year we see our  regular attendees get stronger and faster.&amp;nbsp; From recreational roadies  to former professionals and developing elite juniors.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Why do we do this?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Over  winter the vast majority of your riding is long, slow distance.&amp;nbsp;  There's not many crits, there's a little track but it's irregular or  you're already doing it (Tues &amp;amp; Thurs at DISC).&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The weather is  cold and wet, the mountains are dangerously slippery etc.&amp;nbsp; You're not  doing high intensity intervals much.&amp;nbsp; This program has evolved over  years to fill that high intensity gap.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It's easy to go to any old  spin session and get tired, but if you want structure and progression  and don't want to shell out for a coached individual program, ours is  pretty good. It also includes a good quaility meal after the session  that's high in protein to help you recover.&amp;nbsp; For $15?&amp;nbsp; That's some  seriously good value. We're so happy with it that we &lt;a href="http://www.aboc.com.au/training-sessions/spin-sessions"&gt;give it away for  free&lt;/a&gt; to anyone that wants to do it at home but it's more &amp;quot;fun&amp;quot; to share  the suffering with us and enjoy the feed afterwards.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There's been a bit of a thread on the Blackburn Cycling Club facebook page about UCI rules, some of which is ranting, some is not very constructive, some is tilting at windmills and some is complaining about the UCI or CA not doing enough to tell us what the rule changes are. Some is fair comment and it's all well intentioned (or at least, mostly ...).&amp;nbsp; In my role as a moderator on the BBN FB page I've had no need to delete anything, so it's well behaved.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With regards to the dissemination of the rules, in some other equipment-specific sports, for example motorsport (CAMS) it is a requirement that each year competitors purchase a rulebook and adhere to the rules.&amp;nbsp; We don't have to buy a rulebook, we can just download it for free (cheaper!).&amp;nbsp; It is still "our" obligation to read and understand the rules and if in doubt, to discuss the rules with a commissaire to seek clarification.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I have had reason to do this recently with the 5cm/aerobar rule change.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; So whether or not the rules agree with your philosophy, it is OUR (everyone who races under the umbrella of the UCI) obligation to know the rules and keep track of them.&amp;nbsp; In particular, coaches need to be up to date. Yes, this is a little bit of work to do each year when rule changes get published and YES it can be inconsistently applied at races by well intentioned but not necessarily up to date or well informed commissaires, but it is still our obligation to know the rules of our sport.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; It's a lot easier these days to do so with the advent of social media, websites and so on.&amp;nbsp; The following website may be of use :&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h5 class="uiStreamMessage userContentWrapper"&gt;&lt;span class="messageBody"&gt;&lt;span class="userContent"&gt;For
 those of you riding kilos or 500m TT's, there's been a rule change as 
of Feb this year that you may have missed.  It is now illegal (unless 
you have a morphological exemption) to use aero bars/clip ons for the 
500 and kilo AND be closer than 50mm to the bottom bracket.  Sprint 
events (sprint, team sprint, kilo, 500, keirin) allow you to position 
your saddle up to 0mm behind the bottom bracket and this, until 
February, was ok including the use of aerobars, : &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; 1.3.013 The 
peak of the saddle shall be a minimum of 5 cm to the rear of a vertical 
plane passing through the bottom bracket spindle. This restriction shall
 not be applied to the bicycle ridden by a rider in a sprint event on 
track (flying 200 m, flying lap, sprint, team sprint, keirin, 500 metres
 and 1 kilometre); however, in no circumstances shall the peak of the 
saddle extend in front of a vertical line passing through the bottom 
bracket spindle.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;  but rule 1.3.023 overrides this rule&lt;span class="text_exposed_show"&gt; : &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
 1.3.023 For road time trials and individual and team pursuit on the 
track, a fixed extension may be added to the steering system; in this 
instance, only a position where the forearms are in the horizontal plane
 is permitted. It is also possible to add a handlebar extension for the 
500 m and kilometre time trials on the track, but in this case, the 
position of the tip of the saddle must be at least 5 cm behind the 
vertical plane passing through the bottom bracket axle.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; This is
 effective as of Feb 2013. If you have an older copy of the rules, 
1.3.023 HAS CHANGED.  Anyone training for kilos or 500's needs to be 
aware of this rule change if you're intending to use aero bars.  I 
expect (but am not certain) that the same applies to masters riding 750m
 ITT's.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; I hope this helps clear up a little confusion about the matter.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The rule is here :&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Nathan Larkin worked with aboc for some years as a coach, but has now moved on to studying art at university and hasn't the time to coach any more riders.&amp;nbsp; I wish Nathan the very best of luck at uni and in the future with his art and photography.&amp;nbsp; Nathan's a top guy and a good friend and a talented photographer with a great eye for a shot.&amp;nbsp; He's contributed a lot to aboc and the culture we're doing our best to encourage, with honesty and integrity.&amp;nbsp; Thank you big guy, everyone I know appreciates your contribution.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So now I need to find a coach to look after enduro riders as I am only doing sprinters.&amp;nbsp; If you're keen, let me know. If you're doing a level 1 and want mentored hours etc, I am keen to help.&lt;/p&gt;

For the girls this isn't a suprise in the F200, they can wind up the gear, rather than have to accelerate it from a standing start (and most of the girls are not very strong, I don't think many of them lift), so I'd expect to see bigger changes here.&amp;nbsp; What we are seeing is greater density at the top end.&amp;nbsp; The girls field in 2011-2012 was tiny though, so the sample size is too small to draw any conclusions from, except that we have more JW17's racing sprint this year and that's a really good thing, there's also no (that I have seen) dead bodies on the floor.&amp;nbsp; The horror of allowing 14 and 15 year olds to rev a little lower has not killed anyone.&amp;nbsp; If anything, it's leveling the playing field a little, the mashers can keep up with the hummingbirds. AMAZING!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Where do we have depth? The boys.&amp;nbsp; This is where we don't tend to see outliers so much because the talent pool is much bigger.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This year :&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Event 4: JM17 Time Trial&lt;/h3&gt;  &lt;p class="lead"&gt;2 Laps 500m Final - STANDINGS&lt;/p&gt;

Not yet, it's too early to tell and I have only done a very quick and cursory look at the times from two Vic titles and I haven't considered atmospheric conditions etc.&amp;nbsp; We'll see what happens at the Aussies and also when this lot of J17's move up to J19's next year.&amp;nbsp; Remember the whole aim is to make the J19 -&amp;gt; senior jump less of a killer, and that will take 3-4 years to show itself.&amp;nbsp; So far, no dead bodies, no velodromes lined with corpses and we saw some really good, close racing on the weekend, in particular in the JW17's sprint and keirens.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
