TriSports - Puncture repair / bike maintenance Workshops.
Trisports have offered us 2 workshops to help you with your puncture repair & bike maintenance. The dates are Saturday 18th and 25th February (10-12noon). Places are limited (8 members per Saturday.)
You'll take your bike and they'll show you how to take off your wheel, tyre, repair puncture, put back on, etc plus some general bike maintenance. If you don't know, they'll explain what group-set you have, etc. Bikes must be in a 'clean' condition! They'll be special offers on the day on Muc-Off packages, puncture repair kit packages and reductions on services booked.
You must book a place and I plan to open these up on events for booking first thing Saturday morning (11th Feb) so check your calendars.
Unfortunately we have had to cancel the Wetsuit Workshop tomorrow evening due to low numbers (apologies to Liam and Paul.) BUT there will hopefully be another opportunity on Wednesday 15th March 6-8pm. We'll update events accordingly.
Come along to a Wetsuit Workshop/evening at TriSports and learn everything you need to know about buying and wearing a wetsuit.
You can't underestimate the importance of wearing the right fitting wetsuit correctly to ensure you swim your best in open water.
Trisports are opening their doors to us on Wednesday evening 22nd February 2023 6-8pm to run through all the important stuff when it comes to wearing your wetsuit!
There will also be discounts on the night - Zone 3 wetsuits, Aquasphere goggles, swim caps, ear & nose plugs, race number belts...:
12% OFF wetsuits on the night only.
There will be 12% OFF on Aquasphere kit on the night only.
They also currently have 30-50% savings on cycle clothing and run clothing.
Please sign up on events as that will help us let TriSports know how many are coming. Would be great to see you.
February is membership renewal time - Hurrah!
