SRS Events Cyclosportive Training Day 29/11/09

This Winter we have arranged this special event to help prepare riders for our 2010 Cyclosportive events.

The SRS Event Cyclosportive training day will consist of
a one hour talk in the morning by recognised experts in the field of cycling with regards to health and fitness of Cyclosportive riders.

Then riders will enjoy a choice of two rides.

The HQ For our Cyclosportive training day is the London Meed Community Primary school where food and refreshments will be available for riders before and during the training talks, and after the training rides.

Talks on training plans, nutrition, and recovery will be covered before riders take part in a choice of two rides.

Speakers include:-
Dan Bennett of Progressive Cycle Coaching,
Dr Helen Carter of PBscience,
Chris Ball of Bio-Bike,
Mark Turner of Science in Sport

This is the Chris Ball that was in the 2000 Great Britain pursuit squad in 2000.
Super fast guy, after the talk he may even ride the course. :shock:

Rupert, got my form today, thinking of doing the day & the 65 miler, but I was only a poor bronze in August on the Rumble Challenge (though I did get up all the hills :-) ), just worried I might not be able to keep up !
What happens also if the weather is too extreme for the event to take place ?

SRS Events

Well the course on the 65 mile is not extreme so if you can get around the Rumble you will get around the 65 mile course.
If weather is really bad ie snow then we will change the date, or offer an alternative ride.

As for not keeping up with others, the route will be marked all the way around so you won't get lost
Plus there will be a broom wagon and mechanics on call.

We rode the course the other weekend and we did it (gourp of 8 ) in 4hours.
It really is a lovely route and will be fantastic in bigger groups.

But Saying all of that the talks will be great too and personally I can't wait to see the bio bike demonstrated. The talks at the very least will give food for thought on training issues and there will be plenty of time for riders to ask questions.

By the way if you live close to Burgess Hill we will be riding this route again on October 31st Saturday starting from Ditchling at 9am see ON THE RIVET for details

Is SRS events a not-for-profit organisation? If you are making money out of this, I'm not sure this forum is an appropriate way to run your marketing campaign.

SRS Events

Thanks Alan,
We are just trying to get the message out to as many people as possible, I am sure people who read this forum would want to know about the event.

We are raising funds for the Brighton Heart Charity and as an organisation we are losing money organising these events. But we love cycling so we don't mind.

I rode the Burgess Hill Rumble 09 which was really well organised, nice to see it receiving media coverage this week in Cycling Weekly. Thanks for the info Rupert, i would have missed this upcoming event if it was not for this forum. I will be entering today and looking forward to the talks and ride.
Cheers from coventryeagle
