Sunday 2nd of August Training session.
Another bad start to the day ...
After having rebuilt the electrics of the bike last Tuesday, we accidentally wired our battery leads incorrectly leaving us with the wrong voltage !
This time we identified the fault and fixed in under an hour! (better than two weeks ago).
We have also decided to stop Nathan from testing the bike as it seems to break every time we let him test it ;)
Other than that we spent the day learning how to take the corners (the 'line') around the track (from the experienced riders) and getting used to riding the bike at high speed.
According to the rest of the team (they had nothing better to do than to watch me go round the track) I was the closest to rolling the bike (I thought it seemed a bit rough there).
This week we started building our pedal generator to help re-charge our batteries during the race. Our generous sponsor, AAEV, supports us with material resources and their direct assistance and guidance throughout these training sessions and has also provided us with the key parts needed (free), to build a Pedal Generator, but also explaining how to design and put it all together.
