Sunday Group Training Rides
Join us as we ride and build ‘base’ mileage. Every Sunday at 9am a group will ride from the triandrun Store/Warehouse in Chigwell.
triandrun Chigwell Store:
Unit 18 Taylors
Gravel Lane
Chigwell
Essex IG7 6DQ
The objective of the rides is to offer those people who are looking for others to cycle with a relaxed environment in which to prepare for next years races and maybe learn a bit more about their cycling skills along the way.
Depending on numbers each week we will either ride as one group or split into a faster and slower group. There will be at least one member of the RG Active team with each group and they are there to help in any way with gearing, position or just to keep you company.
(The Sunday training rides are FREE of charge to everyone).
The rides take in some lovely Essex and Hertfordshire roads that enable us to ride safely in a good sized group. The rides vary in duration and difficulty week by week and the group leader will make this decision each week based on group size and ability.
The rides are always at least 2 hours in duration and we ask that ALL riders are happy being in the saddle for this duration and do have a road bike and some knowledge of the rules of the road.
Checklist for rides:
- Your Road Bike
- Cycle helmet (No helmet = No ride!)
- Puncture repair kit (very important on winter roads)
- Cycle SPECIFIC Clothing, very important generally but even more so in colder weather when the air temperature is cold making the wind chill a very difficult thing to deal with if you are not dressed correctly. Cycling specific shorts are a MUST whatever time of year as without them 2 hours is a VERY long time!!!!
- A smile! We insist that everyone enjoys the rides, they are designed to be sociable, enjoyable and safe and NO ONE gets left behind!
