—————–

2 cycling choices

1. Sunday 19th May:  2 cycle rides from Barton Marina

Attention all MVH Cyclists  (all cycling abilities welcome)

The Sessions:  Both commence at 0900hrs

Cycle ride 1 : Lead Rider:  TBA Suitable for all abilities.

This week – a tour!  Will not be warm and sunny….   The pace will be warm.

A great experience and all are welcome.  Come along and enjoy.

Cycle Ride 2 : Lead Rider: TBA Suitable for experienced novices and intermediates

Possibly quicker than Cycle ride 1 but always containing new opportunities (and of course – just when you thought you knew all the lanes in staffordshire…another one appears)  circa 35 miles – 2 and a bit more hours.  Group riding at its best.  Level 3 and at times strength building and occasional heart rate peaking.

Keeping the theme of strength and endurance building.

 

A MVH Triathlon week-end?  Away?  In June…  BBQ night?

Back to back swim, cycle, run over Saturday and Sunday?  Plus the opportunity for quality time with family and partners away from the demands of home!

Swimming in Bala Lake, Cycling through stunningly beautiful valleys and yes the odd hill and running on undulating paths by the side of the Lake????

And great pub food and company?  And maybe just forget about work for a couple of days?

Eh…..  Yes please….

MVH is packing cars and with a swim, cycle and run schedule to die for – the MVH triathlon week-end is a go.

• Friday night June 28th – arrival in Bala.

Notice from Organisers

“Due to the heavy snow conditions in the East Midlands, we have unfortunately been forced to postpone the Clumber Park Classic Duathlon. With several centimetres of snow already having fallen and more forecast for the rest of the day and overnight, we have taken the difficult decision not to go ahead with tomorrow’s race.”

The event will now take place on the alternative date of 11 May and your entry has automatically been carried forward to this date.

“If you are unable to make this, please contact info@onestepbeyond.org.uk and we will arrange a credit for a free entry into the 2014 Clumber Park Classic Duathlon.”

The rearranged date will incorporate qualification for the GB Age Group team for the ITU Duathlon World Championships.
