Session #4 Details:
This is our final P2A prep session. This week we’re incorporating more extensive single track riding. Just like when riding gravel events it’s a huge asset to familiarize yourself with the route (see below) so you are confident where you’re going.
- Ride as a group to the start of gravel & single track sectors.
- Ride gravel sectors at “effort”
- Ride single track for “efficiency”
- Start effort AFTER turning onto sector.
- Regroup at the end of gravel and single track sectors.
Sectors:
- Gravel – Southbound on Side Road 12
- Single Track – Southbound through Little Tract
- Gravel – Northbound on Side Road 10
- Gravel – Northbound on Side Road 12
- Gravel – Southbound on Side Road 10
- Single Track – Northbound through little tract
- Gravel – Northbound on Pioneer Trail
