Thursday Evening Cycle Sessions

Now that the threat of black ice has passed (please) we had better get these sessions started again.

Until the evenings get light enough we will be riding circuits in the Sowton Industrial Estate. These are two miles long and involve a couple of short hills, loads of right angle bends, junctions, roundabouts and parked vehicles. It is lightly trafficed, (although Sam and I did have a potential altercation with a TNT juganaught last year which could have scratched its paintwork). I organise it like a track session so there is no problem about how fast or slow you are. This also means that its suitable for anyone wanting to do some short fast speedwork.

While it is a quite technical course it is ideal for people to develope and practice their cycle skills.

Meet behind Lucombe House, County Hall for a 6.00p.m. PROMPT start.
(If you drive in through the main Topsham Road Entrance go to the back of the stand-alone building on your right-hand side.

If you want to either park up at Middlemoor (so you are ready for the swim session), or want to meet at Sowton, then meet in the middle section of Kestrel Way (ie the flat bit that runs parallel to the main Sowton Road) for 6.15p.m.

The session will do beteeen 10 and 12 miles, so you will be in time for the swim afterwards.
