  1. From their website:

    http://www.crca.net/coaching/temp.htm
    -------------<snip>-------------
    Learn to handle your bike and to read a pack. Learn bunny hopping, curb
    jumping, slow riding, close riding, bumping, falling (in grass) wheel
    touching, water bottle pickup.

    1. How many of you can do a track stand on your road bike?
    2. How many of you can ride in a figure 8 where the diameter of each half
    is 6 feet?
    3. How many of you can pedal clockwise in a 24-foot diameter circle, using
    only your left hand to steer? And then using your right hand?
    4. How many of you can win at a slow race in a circle of 10 feet and 3
    other riders?
    5. Do you know the mechanics of countersteering on a bike?
    6. If your back wheel locks up and slides, do you know how to handle it?
