TRAINING TIPS
Ride to Give is a peloton supported ride, held on public roads. Riders will be placed into graded pelotons (groups) and be required to ride safely at an agreed average speed throughout the duration of each day.
Each peloton will ride at a collective pace, so it’s imperative everyone participating in the Ride reaches an agreed base level of fitness so they can ride safely with others. We recommend you download and read Entoure’s handy Group Riding Guide for further information on road and peloton safety, as well as their Guide to Bunch Riding.
The base level for this ride is 25km an hour and peloton average speeds will range from the base level of 25km an hour up to 30km an hour and above. All riders must understand that a certain level of training and experience is required. It’s important for everyone to work on stamina and endurance and that starts with simply getting on the bike.
Every training kilometre makes a difference and every training session will help riders achieve their goals.We suggest riders follow a training plan that works best for them. Identify the areas you need to work on and to focus on those areas as much as you can.
Remember the main goal of training is to:
- Ride your bike
- Understand where you're at and where you need to be
- Have a plan that delivers the outcome you need
- Execute it
- Have fun
