Intro 4

[SEL]

I need to shoot Intro 4 this weekend for e-riders so I can get my tests in the bag for their winter championship.

Leaving aside my arena in a field is a bog, Intro 4 is the new one and my middle aged brain isn't coping too well with it. Not helped with it being the only Intro where you turn left at C instead of right after coming down the centre line.

When they say "between K & H one loop 5 metres away from the track" can I just check what bend I should be aspiring to here? I ride shallow loops all the time, but often with a bit of SI or LY and obviously that's not needed here. Am I slight inside bend to the 5m mark and then slight outside bend back to the track??

Thank you

Yes you are right. It is testing that you can change bend smoothly.

You change the bend half way to the 5m point and then change back half way back to the track, no change of bend at the 5m point. From: https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=822705402978759&set=pcb.822730966309536

Ah - thank you. Once upon a time I had an instructor who called these single looped serpentine and that was how she had me bending.

Its a very wiggly test.
