Open Water Swimming 2010

The club is once again very grateful to Mr & Mrs Bannister for allowing us to use their lake for our open water swimming sessions. We are expecting greater numbers of swimmers this year. Please see the notices in the forums. 11th May is the first session which we encourage you to attend as it will focus on safety and canoe training (no swimming). The first swim session (water temperature/quality permitting) is proposed for 18th May. Watch the forum for updates and confirmation. We would strongly encourage car sharing where possible as parking space may be limited.

Running Track Session 13th April

Seedhill Athletic Stadium, Nelson (off M65) has been booked from 7 - 8pm for a triathlon coached run/wheelchair/handbike session. Main focus will be on technique improving drills and pace judgement it will involve some fitness work also but aiming to avoid 'track fever' induced injuries will be a priority! 

The fee is likely to be around £3 to help cover the cost of the track usage. 

Richard Annable has offered transport from Craven Pool in his 7 seater.

Please let Carol or know via the web forum if you plan to attend.

Manchester Velodrome session planned

 

 

 

 

 

Zdenka is planning a Craven Energy trip to the velodrome.

A taster session consists of about 30 mins of learning to cycle on the
track with the fixed wheel bike and then about 30 mins of free riding.
More experienced people, who have been before, can ride straight away
without having to go through the intro. The maximum number of people who
can be in one session is 16.

Prices: The taster session costs about £10, which includes bike hire.
The bikes have setup for Look cleats ane pedals, so road cycling shoes
are required. Or one can have normal trainers and use toe clips.
Alternatively, the road clip on shoes can be hired at additional cost of
£4. One can also borrow a helmet if needed. I will also need to book the
right sizes of bikes, for which i have the Veldorome's chart.

I have checked with Velodrome, and the track is available for hire on
the following dates:

Sunday 14th February 2010 (12.00 noon) - 13 places available

Saturday 6th March 2010 (6pm) - 16 places (full availability)
Sunday 7th March 2010 (12.00 noon) - 13 places available

Saturday 13th March 2010 (6pm) - 16 places available (full availability)
Sunday 14th March 2010 (12.00 noon) - 16 places also available.
