We’ll meet in the hall at Aldercar for the first time this winter … bring a clean bike, rollers or turbo, a bottle and a towel and prepare to work hard!! In from 7pm, on and ready to roll by 7:30pm.

If you can’ ride rollers and you’d like to learn we can teach you! If you’d like to borrow a set of rollers please let us know and we’ll try to loan you a set.

Remember your warm layers and non-cycling shoes for journeying too and from Aldercar! AND A WOOLLY HAT!!

Stopwatch

10 mile roller/turbo time trial

StopwatchIf you fancy having a go against the clock tonight we’ll manage a 10 mile time trial within the session.

To participate fully you need a calibrated cycle computer on your bike … don’t worry if you don’t have one … you can still have a blast!

Please note:

  • We break for two weeks
  • This is our last indoor session until August.

Reminder – different room tonight

Heanor Clarion CC logoJust a quick reminder that tonight’s session is NOT in the main school hall … we’ll be in the Drama room in the 6th Form building … just a bit further around the school site – where the youngsters did their tarmac summer coaching. It’s a great space but a little smaller so we’ll need to be neat … the hall’s being used for a parent’s evening.

Dean has cancelled the Watt bikes as they’ve had to go in for maintenance 🙁

First indoor rollers of the 2012/13 season

Bryan Steel

Bryan SteelBryan will be bringing along his medals and hopefully chatting about his cycling experiences – including Olympic Games, World Championships, Commonwealth Games, coaching and challenges!

The guys from Godfrey will be bringing samples of the kit for us to take a look at and consider.

We’ll still be running a rollers/turbo session, and we’ll have the kettle … come along and join us!
