Training sessions throughout the region
Some riders may not be aware, but a few clubs run various training sessions in the season, and these are open to any riders from the region, no matter what club.
RED ROSE OLYMPIC
Hold on several Saturdays during the season. Keep an eye on Red Rose Olympic’s Facebook page here
Moor Park, Preston. The sessions will run from 9am till 10:30am.
For those who haven’t been before please meet in the gravel car park opposite the Sir Tom Finney Stadium (PNE) PR1 6RU.
Please watch out for bikes on roof racks because there is a height barrier on the car park!
A modest £3 contribution to the club’s coaching fund would be much appreciated!
Coach Jez Eastham says:
“These are primarily skills based sessions but with competitive elements, including mini courses, race scenarios and timed laps. We don’t include specific fitness drills, but riders definitely get a good workout!“
