I said I’d probably do short-notice rides and it doesn’t get much less notice than this!
Perfect ride if you’re looking to:
• Improve confidence on roads with fast traffic
• Ride on roads that have a cycle-path along-side in case it all gets a bit too challenging
• Get into multi-sport events, like Duathlon or Triathlon
• See what goes on a Park Run, but don’t want to run one
• Run a Park Run with others cheering your efforts at the finish
• Be prepared to cheer other on if watching (you don't have to do the run)
• Ride about 11-12mph for about 35-40mins
• Ride on a smooth surface
We’ll set off at 8 prompt so that we can get to Rushcliffe Park Run in time for a loo break, make our way to the start and dump gear in the big communal pile. Then you can either do your Park Run (remember your bar-code!) or just watch and cheer. You don’t even have to ride back with us – but let me know if that’s your plan. We’ll almost certainly go for a cuppa after, but we don’t hang about too much.
There is no pressure to finish the run in a particular time. I usually manage about a 10min mile pace, but not always! You can wait for me, or we’ll wait for you to finish.
If you’ve never done a Park Run and want to have your time registered, you must register and print a barcode. But you can run without registering, no problem.
