Club Ride - Saturday 12th November

Forecast for Saturday is heavy rain all morning so no club ride this week. Not safe / sensible for group ride.

Hope you're able to get out late Saturday or Sunday and that normal service resumes next week.

Turbo Thursday 10th November

As mentioned last week Brockenhurst Village Hall has a prior booking so for one week only turbo class will be at:

Double H Nurseries

Gore Road, New Milton, BH25 5NG

Thanks very much to Neil for making space available

Aim to arrive 1930 for 1945 start

Turbo sessions

Thanks to those who endured the FTP/LTHR testing last night. For those who have put their data into Training Peaks I've updated your training zones for either power or heart rate.

For those who have liked their Training Peaks accounts to mine I've created a training calendar with plans for other sessions.

Remember, no class next week as the hall is unavailable but I have set homework in Training Peaks.

See you on the 17th for some more turbo torture.
