Bike Training
During good weather, there will be group bike rides available. These are normally organised for Sunday mornings 8am, meeting in Letchworth but can be available other days/times too.
The group rides are led by a member of the club who will send out details (course map & approx. speed/distance) a few days before the ride. We try to offer both steady and progressive rides to encourage a wide range of abilities.
Freedom Tri Group Ride Guidelines:
Freedom group rides are organised to accommodate a range of abilities – please choose the ride appropriate for you and check that the distance, speed and times work for you.
Cyclists are expected to be reasonably self-sufficient (i.e. bike in a safe and road worthy condition and equipped to repair a puncture). Helmets are compulsory.
The group will wait in the event of a puncture or mechanical and won’t leave anyone without their consent.
All members are liable for their own actions during a club group ride. These rides are not coached sessions and therefore Freedom Tri does not provide any insurance for individual members whilst participating in group rides.
Members taking part in any Freedom Tri activity including cycling must be members of the BTF with minimum essential membership which offers public liability insurance for training in Britain https://www.britishtriathlon.org/join
Please ensure your contact / emergency details are up to date on your profile.
Have fun, respect your fellow riders and other road-users!
We also encourage members to post on the forum or Facebook if they are going out riding and want some company!
During the Winter we organise Freedom Zwift and online zoom turbo sessions.
Throughout the year, we may also organise club TT sessions and visits to the velodrome.
Freedom Tri is affiliated with Cycling Time Trials (CTT). This is the National Governing Body of road time trialling.
