Sat 17/1/09 Faster Group Ride. Usual meeting time and place (The Angel, Woodhatch at 0900) then a steady ride for one and a half hours, getting quicker towards the end so that we are fully warmed up and ready when we rendezvous at Parkgate with some riders from Norwood Paragon.

We’ll then split into groups and ride in these groups around the Newdigate circuit practicing close and brisk group riding. This will not be a race but will be good experience of group riding at a faster pace in the company of both established Redhill and Norwood Paragon riders.

Usual arrangement for riding on Saturday (9:00 at The Angel, Woodhatch) but it could potentially be cold (freezing or below over Friday night and early Sat morning) and I expect ice still on some of the smaller roads so likelihood is to stay on main roads – subject to everything else, it’s likely to be a longer ride , 3 – 4 hours. Bring some money so that we can do a café stop somewhere.

Core Strength Training

Your legs aren’t the only part of your body that need to be in condition to ride well competitively.

One of our own members, Steve Young, who runs his own successful personal training business, will be talking about and demonstrating (with your help!!!!) core strength exercises and similar matters all with the aim of having us in tip-top condition for the start of the season.
