Training Rides

OK. The harder training rides start this Sat. We meet Horton Country Park car park at 10am to leave 10 past 10.
We ride to Cobham then on to the Hungry Hill Road Racing Circuit near Ripley.
The idea on the circuit is to ride as a group taking turns on the front like in a race and maybe get in some sprints for signs! We will learn to ride close to each other and take shelter and pull along the recovering riders. It is 23 miles to the Wisley tea hut by the A3 and 11 miles home so should be back by 1.30 unless you skip tea and baconburger!
If some fast guys turn up they can drop us at some point and do a hard ride to the stop.
Lisa, Florence and I are doing a 3-Up next Sat (April 8th - Lisa) so wont be out, but hope to put into practice what we learn.
We are going to the clubroom this Thur to talk training tactics so if anyone wants to come!

SCCU Sporting 25 26/03

I rode the Southern Counties Sporting 25 yesterday (G25/48) and as a preamble to the results (not too quick!) feel obliged to point out that it is a fairly slow course (patches of very rough road surface, hilly, sharp corners etc.) and the wind was only moderately less fierce than for the Medium Gear. So excuses out of the way ...
My time: 1.23.51
1st Lady: Tracy Caudle Lewes Wanderers CC 1.14.05
Winner: Steve Dennis East Grinstead CC 58.29

Despite being hard, it is a really nice, well-organised event and there are plenty of prizes (down to 3rd place for the girls). It is run as part of a two-day competition with a 10 on the Saturday (G10/46), so maybe that's an aim for next year.

Training Rides - Question

Stuart added a comment to the Training Rides post:

"Please can you tell me what time this/these training ride(s) will start, roughly how far they are and how long the fast group will take?

Thanks

Stuart"

Jake, Andy have you an answer for him? - Please add as a post rather than a comment, it is too easy to miss the fact that a comment has been posted. (I know when one is added as I get an email!)

Cheers,
Lisa

Training Rides

Starting on the 1st April we are going to get serious and do proper training rides at last!
The cold weather has made us soft and our runs have got shorter with longer and longer tea stops in warm places selling hot chocolate and mars bars cake!
So from now on the fast group do the Hungry hill circuit, doing bit and bit. Then later we might add Paul's circuit over the north downs! Maybe!
So we need all guys out there to make our group a decent size with a good turn of speed. The holiday is over!
