Cycling
Shires Triers usually have a group cycle on a Sunday mornings
starting at 8 to 8:30am. This training runs go from either
Berkhamsted Tesco car park, or the public / Jubraj car park
at the south end of Tring high street. They vary from 2-3
hours plus. In the spring and summer these rides are carried
out on road bikes, but in the autumn and winter we hit the
dirt with mountain bikes and head for the woods of Wendover
or Ashridge.
During the summer the Hemel Hempstead Cycle Club hold their
infamous 10 mile time trials along the Leighton Buzzard
Road, (just you and your bike against the clock),fantastic
for checking your fitness and cycling progress.
A few of us also latch
onto the Hemel Hempstead Cycle Club Sunday rides which leave
Hemel Hempstead BR Station at 9.00am and returns some 4hours
later.
Also on the cycling front we now arrange an Autum and early
Spring mountain bike weekends in Wales. These weekends include
some epic trails which will leave you either shattered or
exhilarated. We stay in B&B or Hostil accomidation and
the weekend usually involves a trip to the local pub to
carb load on beer. |
