Our winter rides will start on Saturday 7th November.
There will be 3 rides, a slow ride lasting around 11/2 – 2 hours leaving the shop at 8.15am. An intermediate training ride of 2 – 3 hours leaving the shop at 10am and a 2 – 3 hour ride for elite and aspiring elite riders also leaving at 10am.
The slow ride will average around 14mph and be the pace of the slowest rider.
The intermediate ride will be around 17mph and the elite at least 20mph. These are training rides so if you can’t keep up you will be dropped and you will have to make your own way back. Make sure you have good tyres preferably Schwalbe Marathon Plus or Durano Plus to minimise the risk of puncturing, remember you could be on your own when you puncture so have spare tubes, tyre levers, pump and mobile phone to make sure you can get home. I suggest you carry more food than normal as it is easy to get “hunger knock” when pushing on in cold weather.
