During the summer months and subject to demand, the weather and available daylight hours we endeavour to have 2 bike sessions on Monday evenings starting at 6pm from Torbay Velopark. Exact details are advertised on our Public Facebook group.
Structured session on the Torbay Velopark
This is for 1 hour and users need to pay Torbay Leisure Centre in Reception for use of the Velopark.
For beginners, we offer swim-to-bike and bike-to-run transition coaching.
For others, we set a ‘Brick’ training session which is something along the lines of bike-run-bike-run-bike-run. This session is particularly good for triathletes who struggle with ‘running off the bike’ in competition.
Road Cycling
Again subject to demand, groups of varying ability may go for a bike ride on our surrounding hills and roads. Please NOTE these are not coached rides and are subject to the following rules:
-
- Follow the Highway Code at all times.
- Wear a helmet (‘no helmet, no ride’).
- Bring a mobile phone.
- Have a basic repair kit (at the very least a puncture repair kit, correct size inner tube replacement and pump).
- Have working lights.
- Use a roadworthy bike.
- Wear suitable clothing for the expected weather conditions. Always have a windproof top in case of delays in exposed locations.
- Bring a full water bottle and snacks.
