An update on the Tuesday evening sessions and a change of time.

The move of the Lydden training sessions to Fowlmead has been hugely sucessful!

Instead of the 50-70 riders we had been getting at Lydden, we are now seeing between 80 and 110 riders!

To continue the development of this session we are bringing in a few changes as of next week.

The start time from 18th May will move to 7pm for both sessions, with a slower skills & drills session at 6:30 on the upper circuit.

The session split with the fast riders on the lower circuit and the steady group on the upper is working well and will continue at 7pm.

The 6:30 session is an experiment. The idea is not to pound round, but do formation drills, tactics drills, a few sprints etc. If you have never raced or ridden in a bunch before, this is the place to start.

We are keen to see more beginners (especially the quicker juniors and women) get involved.

Remember these are training sessions not races, so you do not need a licence. You just need a well maintained road bike (no tri-bars), a helmet and enthusiasm.

If you have any ideas as to how to attract more prople, we are keen to hear them.

Editor's note: If you like like the fact that the cafe stays open for us, then I suggest you use it!

If Bruce is not making money at the cafe then he has a busy pub to run.
