  • So punk, you're thinking of moving up to the fast ride?

    Well, excellent news because this weekend is a step up ride weekend! :-)

    What's a step up ride
    If you feel you're at the quicker end of your current ride bracket but are not sure whether the next paced group up is too fast, then this weekend is the perfect opportunity to try it out.

    A step up weekend means you can move up to the higher paced ride safe in the knowledge that on a step up ride, the expectation on the rides is that the normal pace may not be achieved all the way round the route. In other words, we'll make sure absolutely no one who wants to try the next ride up gets left behind or finds it too uncomfortable.

    Who should join a step up ride
    Of course, please only move up a ride if you are finding the pace in your current usual on the easy side of comfortable. If you're normally towards the back of your usual club run group on hills for example, then a step up ride probably isn't for you just yet. Whilst the pace may be a little lower on your step up ride than it normally is, it would be unfair on the other riders in the step up group if you're trying to make too big a leap in speed.
