WINTER TRAINING RIDES & GROUP CYCLE COACHING IN ESSEX
Training for triathlon can often be a lonely experience as you might not know who else to train with, where to train and how to get involved in group sessions.
In particular, cycling can be a discipline that a lot of athletes tend to do solo, however this could be a reason for why you may not reach your full potential. Riding with other cyclists and especially more experienced cyclists can improve your performance and training experience to new levels.
RG Active are proud to offer a chance to participate in their group training rides that will be organised all the way through the Autumn and Winter in the West London/Essex and Hertfordshire areas.
You will be organised by RG Active coaches who are able to offer you ...
Safe supervision on the roads
Advice with bike set-up
Bike handling skills including cornering, climbing, descending
Fitness training advice
The training rides will start from High Beach in Epping Forest, map attached. Aim for the Kings Oak pub (IG10 4AE) and you will find us near to the small coffee hut.
