Winter base training continued for many members this week with increasing numbers taking part in weekly activities. The Saturday cycles are continuing to see numbers increase. If you’ve been meaning to get out, now’s the time to do it.

There are two groups going out each Saturday morning. The 9am group is aimed at beginners and intermediate, with pace set on the morning based on who is there. The second group leaves at 10am and they normally keep a speedier pace.
