And yes me too, if I don't have a plan before I ride I tend to end up with an meh ride as I haven't really achieved anything! Ground poles and a figure of 8 sounds like a fantastic exercise!

That is so smart! When I ride without a plan I tend to lack motivation and not work as hard. Figure 8's are a lot of fun and I do love to use ground poles because we're working on Delight's timing and foot placement.
