Saturday Morning Cycles

While the weekly turbo training sessions are aninvaluable training tool during the winter months, nothing really beats gettingout on the road on your bike. Unfortunately due to short days and inclementweather at this time of the year it’s not always possible, or indeed safe, toget out on the road. In order to encourage members to get out on their bikesthe Blackwater Triathlon Club organises weekend cycles where groups of memberscan get together and head out in one or more groups, depending on numbers andfitness levels. As is the case in all of the club’s events we aim to cater foreverybody, from the least experienced to the members who virtually live in thesaddle. Each week a number of routes of varying distance and difficulty will bechosen and a different group will tackle each route. Members can select whichgroup and route best suits their own particular level. Last weekend thebeginner group did 52 km, but halfway through the cycle they met up with a newmember who was on her very first group cycle and joined them for just 20km. Theaim is to get as many people out as possible. Details of each weekend’s routes will be up on Whatsapp and Facebookeach week. All members are encouraged to take part.
