Weekend Ride
Optional Independent Ride – Big Chain Ring TT Sets: 90-120 minutes – This can be a destination ride, or you can select a convenient circuit – for example the Hawea-Red Bridge loop, keep it relatively flat: Ride easy to warm up then perform (starting Gladstone Road would be perfect) Three 8 minute BCR Time Trials – this involves changing up into a significantly harder gear and sustaining a focussed higher-than-normal effort (think Rate of Perceived Exertion 8 out of 10) for the 8 minute duration. Ride easy between for 4 minutes and then cruise the rest of the course home.
Let me know if you’d like company for this one.
Club Segments
If you’re a GPS user, we have developed specific Strava Segments for our training locations which are all collected on our site. Check them out to see where you stand on the league tables!
Our training and event calendar can be found at: http://trisport.mtaspiring.edutronic.net/training-calendar/ – and you can merge it with your own device if you like
We need three more people to opt in to buy or hire a club skin suit for cycling in order for us to qualify for the 10 item cost. If anyone who wants one didn’t get the chance to fill out the form, you can still do so here.
Our club is all about participation, and alongside the excellent commitment of the student athletes, we welcome family members and members of the community to join us in all of our training sessions. They’re designed to accommodate all levels and abilities and are a lot of fun. If you have it in mind that you’d like to join any of our regular sessions, simply let me know and we’ll make sure you have all the information you need.
Righto!
Chris + The Team
