Cycle Club Runs Calendar 2009
From the 6th of June the club is starting a new system where the three Team MK Club Runs (A,B & C) on Saturday mornings have a clear structure with a pre-published destination and leader, and they are detailed in the training calendar.
The objectives are:
- To give both new and experienced riders a clear understanding of the level of performance and experience required for each group.
- To provide a ride leader who will be responsible for determining the route and ensuring the group rides responsibly.
- Add a few “different” rides to the process, the first being a planned 100mile ride on the 25th of July.
- Pre-published destinations to allow riders to “meet” the club run if they so wish.
The plan is to publish the runs list 4 times a year, January to March, April to June, etc. So this current list covers June to September, and a new list will be published in mid September to cover October to December.
In addition, the official start time of the club runs has always been 9.30, however in recent times this has drifted to 9.45.
We will over the next few weeks move back to departing at 9.30, so would request all riders ensure they reach Stony Stratford in good time.
