Summer training rides:
Meet Summerhill lights, Cot Lane Kingswinford. 6.30pm every Tuesday except the first of each month because the club time trial runs instead. 1.5 hours local roads towards Pattingham. Average speed approx 21mph and is higher during the intense part of the ride. No waiting for stragglers.
Thursday night winter training rides: meet outside Lidl, bottom of Brettle Lane. 1.5 hours on local roads as a "co-operative training ride".
Note the following safety guidelines which must be observed:
ALL riders must wear predominantly white or yellow or Stourbridge CC club jerseys - this is for the safety of the whole group and makes us much more visible under sodium street lights.
ALL riders must have working lights - including 2 rear lights (every week someone’s back light fails, this ensures there is always a backup) and a hard shell helmet.
Speed is a brisk training pace, but the ride is a 'co-operative training ride', not a race, and disruptive riding will not be appreciated! Whilst we try and accommodate as wide a range of abilities as is reasonable, we don't wait for riders who are really out of their depth.
All are welcome, including non-club members, as long as you follow the guidelines above. |
