Roller Riding and Turbo Training 2016 – Dates announced

With the Spinning sessions being organised at the Meres on Tuesday evenings, we also have some training sessions at the Cricket club on Thursday evenings, with alternating Roller and Turbo sessions.

Turbo Training:

There will be a turbo session this Thursday 7th January at the Cricket Club. The Turbo session starts at 7pm so please get there earlier to get yourself set-up. There are a limited number of club turbo’s available, please contact either Tracey McAndrew or Janet to book.

This will continue fortnightly until the start of the time trial season.

It’s fun to train together, don’t forget to bring a towel/blanket to put your bike on, and a towel for yourself.

 

Roller Training:

The following Thursday 14th January at the club night there will be the chance to have  go on Rollers if you have not done this before. It can look a difficult skill but after a few sessions you should get the hang of it. Sometimes you need to develop skills rather than just power, using rollers on a regular basis will give you

  • Improved balance while cycling – develops the core muscles
  • Improved Pedalling efficiency and cadence
  • Teach you to cycle in an efficient straight line

If you don’t have a set of rollers then feel free to come along and use a Turbo Trainer instead.

Following on from Tuesday 14th there will be fortnightly sessions on Thursday evenings starting at 7.00 at the Cricket Club, dates include the following. These sessions are varied and will include a warm up and a Time Trial.
