Cycling

FVS TRI maintains a cycle programme throughout the year that would appeal to both triathletes, time trialists and road racers alike. 

The club has affiliated to the British Cycling Federation, the Cycling Time Trials Council and British Triathlon Association, giving our members the opportunity to hone their bike skills in whatever is their preferred discipline. 

Our basic programme comprises of longer steady rides and Turbo Training throughout the winter and moves into Time Trailing in the spring. 

For those new to the sport and/or wishing to hone their skills cycling technique days and special events are held throughout the year, see our monthly schedules for more details….

How do I start?

Of course you require a bike, preferably a racing bike with drop handlebars and narrow tyres, you do, to a certain degree, only get what you pay for but you can get something good on a reasonable budget, before you buy you need to make sure the bike fits (even if buying new) and is safe.  

If you are a member there are plenty with technical knowledge of bikes to give you the best advice. 

You will of course require a helmet to participate at any of our training rides, appropriate clothing for all weathers and above all we recommend proper cycling shoes and pedals as they make a huge difference over trainers, contact Trisports for your cycling needs.
