Cycling
Now the darker nights are here, we cycle Saturdays mornings only, weather dependant (if it's raining we do not formally cycle - up to you if you want to brave the weather!!). The sessions are open to ALL WRR club members who wish to improve their cycling fitness. Cyclists are expected to be reasonably self-sufficient (i.e. bike in working order and equipped to repair a puncture).
Wednesday - Meet at Wootton Community Centre, 6pm prompt start
Route to be chosen on the night by those that turn up.
Saturday - Meet at Wootton Community Centre, 9am prompt start - see club email from details.
There is 1 cycling group now, pace 16/17mph (50 miles plus), shorter route cut-backs are available.
Due to lack of demand group 2 will no longer take place.

Road
Bikes - not mountain
bikes (as you are unlikely to keep up)
Helmet
and clothing – You must wear an proper cycling safety helmet
(no helmet
no ride!). Regarding clothing, I’m not you mother but please ensure
that you dress according to the weather conditions. At speed you will
get cold so ensure you have the right layers and a waterproof jacket
with you, gloves as well. If your feet get cold put plastic bags over
your socks before putting your shoes on. This keeps wind and rain out.
Snack food – Jaffa cakes, peanut
butter sandwich, chewy bars, jelly babies, malt loaf, slice of cake etc.
Energy drink – Water is
not enough and you will suffer. You will need energy drink; bring at
least 1 bottle for 2 hours and 2 bottles for longer rides.
Spares/pump – You must have at least one spare inner tube (recommend 2) and a pump with you, don’t rely on others fixing your punctures with their spares, it’s not fair so bring you own. Session leaders carry other tools and can help you if you get into trouble).
Glasses - are also
recommended, dark for sunny days and clear/yellow lenses for others.

Running
Running training is often regarded as something that can be done alone, however training with others, and with at coach, can provide a significantly better environment for making improvements. The Wootton Road Runners Thursday evening run sessions place considerable emphasis on developing running technique and running speed.
