Holiday season us upon us...

[Wendell]

At this time of year many of us feel the drain and strain of the past year, and most of us just want to be away at some holiday destination. Many of us just can't get away for one or other reason. So with these thoughts I am proposing a "holiday" training group ride.

 

For me personally...2013 is going to be a great year on the bike, and this year it will not only be on the mountain bike as in the past years, it is going to be on all three my bikes...TRACK, ROAD and mountain bike. For this I need to do some great base miles and that is why I have this "holiday" training group in mind.

 

Starting on Tuesday the 18th December at 7am to Friday 21st I will be riding at Thaba Trails, 101 Klipriver drive Mulbarton (JHB South). The first week will be three hours each ride, the second week will be four hours each ride and if there are any riders left in JHB then we will do two SIX hour rides. The pace will not be a race pace but a BASE pace, low heart rates (65-75%) of your max. NOW, we all have different max HR so we can break up but the main objective is to ride for this time and we will see each other regularly for encouragement and motivation......for those who start together at 7am each day there will be NO CHARGE to ride on Thaba Trails as a Christmas gift from us to you. Just a way of us saying " Thank You" for helping us at Thaba Trails get this park on the map.

Hi Wendell,

There is a lot of interest in this "group" ride.. we will be there rain or shine. Fitness waits for no one you have to work on it. The first serious race of 2013 will be the Provincial road champs on the 19/20 January 2013..why not go and give those guys a surprise by being fit n strong. Remember, 7am start at Thaba Trails on 18th December.
