NB latin speakers, new start time of 6:30PM!
OMG, a nice forecast! Finally, you can pack up the arm & leg warmers until autumn (maybe)!
However these are still the Early Season Routes for the TAM Ride. We usually do 5 weeks of these, then switch to the longer route for 10 weeks and finally back to 5 weeks of a late season version.
They remain the same giving riders an opportunity to see how they progress in fitness week-over-week.
Bringing lights is always a good idea. Especially this early in the season.
Load the route on your bike computer if you have one, here’s how.
Disclaimer: Depending on rider turn out, some Speed Groups may have to be combined.
Make sure you’re in the right kph speed group. Speeds are the same but the ‘R’ numbers have changed a bit since last season.
