This past Sunday I took a rider up fromme for a night ride burn. He had never ever done ladies only and wanted to give it a try.
So all is going well and we end up at Barts Bridge. He says "hey can you spot me?"
as a decade long builder and rider of the shore I was confused…
He explained "just get down to the tricky section and catch me if I go down"
So away I went and found a good spot that I could do this, a place I could brace myself for impact if he needed help.
Low and behold 3 times he went right over the bars and I was able to catch him like a newlywed husband would carry his wife over the threshold :)
the 4th time he got it.
This is a section "as the past builder of Ladies" I have NEVER cleared, and he did on number 4.
I thought to myself what an amazing thing to let go of an ego and work as a team….
Learn something I did this day about the buddy system.
