CYCLING
There is no doubt that a Triathlete's bike is their pride and joy. On race day it is cleaned, oiled and ready to race. These sessions are how we make sure your body is ready to make your bike proud.
Winter Group Rides: Saturday and/or Sunday at 9am, School Green, Shinfield RG2 9EH
Every weekend during the winter, we set off in small groups for a 2-4 hour ride. These are split into groups according to speed, so that we are able to cater for all abilities. If you catch the ride leaders on a good day you might even be lucky enough to sniff out a cake or coffee stop en-route!
Each group is led by volunteer ride leaders. Saturday and Sunday rides are available.
The groups usually start at 9am from the small car park in front of Shinfield School and finish in the same place. These rides generally take place most weekends between early October and the end of March. We ride in all weather, unless there is a genuine risk to safety (high winds; very heavy rain and flooding; ice or snow).
Please email training@thamesvalleytri.com to book a place on the Wednesday prior to the weekend you'd like to ride.

Power Hour
Once the summer evenings start to get light, Power Hour begins. This is a group ride working as a team on the same 30km route each week. The ride starts at Shinfield, taking in the delights of Eversley, Hartney Wintney and Arborfield as you pass through the local countryside. Start times are staggered, with the fastest going off last so that everyone should finish more or less at the same time.
