Winter Riding continuing:
- Scheduled Road Rides on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday mornings;
- Scheduled Track Rides on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday mornings, and
- Intermittent Track Rides on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons (weather dependent).
The Burg Wheelers Age Tests on the Road and Track also continue, the aim being to cover a distance of 30 kilometres within your age (in minutes). Our list of “Youngsters” so far is Simon, Carl, Dale, Willem, Suben, Leon, Sean, Jill, Capt Cornel, Kieron, Craig M and Grant. If you are keen to give it a go, we recommend a concerted paceline approach, coupled with a consultation with our awardees for sage advice and moral support…
One Hour Track TT Challenge.
July is also the month for our latest Roadie/Track adventure – the One Hour Track TT Challenge, the aim being to ride as far as you can, non-stop, in an hour. (Strava Total Moving time around the track, no neutralised stopping for resting.) Once again there is a handicap system as per the table below, and you can ride solo or in a group.
