You should have
with you on the Training Rides:
1. Helmet
2. Cue Sheet.
3. Computer.
4. Two water bottles.
5. Spare tube(s).
6. Tire levers.
7. Frame pump or C02
inflator.
8. Cell phone recommended.
9. Clip taped to handlebars to
hold your cue sheet (plus a plastic
sandwich bag to put the cue sheet in
should we have showers).
All new Anchor House riders are required to attend and
complete at least one of the two 60 mile hilly training rides. It
is strongly recommended that new riders complete both, as it is good practice
riding in a group and it is an opportunity to meet your fellow newbies. Cue
sheets for the rides will be provided.
These rides will give you the opportunity to find out what
an easy day on the Anchor House ride is like. We hope you’ll be able to:
·
Assess your riding abilities and equipment and make needed
adjustments.
·
Take the opportunity to meet other riders (both new and veteran)
of the same ability level as yourself. You might even make your own arrangements
to train together and motivate each other!
We suggest you begin training now and build up your mileage
base gradually each week, as we get closer to the dates of the mandatory rides.
The more miles you have the more you’ll enjoy yourself on the training rides and
the more fun you’ll have.
Remember, your presence at one of the two hilly rides is
mandatory!
Plan to arrive at least ½ hour prior to ride time.
You will need time to sign in and get your gear together.
In the event of rain, we’ll make the decision to go
or not to go by 7 am that morning. Please call Pete (609) 203-6521 on the morning of
the ride to get the latest inclement weather decision if the weather looks
threatening or check the website.
