Arrival at least 15 mins prior to departure time to ensure tyres are pumped up, water bottles are filled, you have ride food, and you lights/helmets/shoes/gloves/glasses are on ready to depart.
If you have any injuries or health concerns please advise the coach prior to departure.

Helmets and shoes are compulsory
Two drink bottle cages with full water bottles, with enough food/nutrition to replenish each hour

What happens if it’s raining?
Rain – what rain? You can replace an outdoor ride with an indoor one. If conditions are not favourable for riding, approximately 1 hour before an outdoor ride is scheduled to depart we will leave a recorded message on our wet weather hotline with the details of any wet weather indoor session being conducted.
Indoor Training via Zoom
Do I need my own bike to join a session?
Yes. For the best indoor workout you need to be on your bike.
What can I expect at my first session?
A good workout. Indoor on the trainers there is no rolling or coasting. You need to constantly pedal throughout to create all your speed therefore an hour indoor session is equivalent to a over an hour and 20 minutes outdoors.
My bike has disc brakes, does this matter?
If you have disc brakes, you will need to use an adaptor during indoor sessions as the Trainers are originally equipped to take quick release skewers. To use a wheel on Trainer (Snap) you will need to provide your own adaptor. To use a wheel off Trainer (Kickr) we have everything you need to set your bike up for your indoor session. Please ask our staff if you have any questions.
