Weekly Roundup
VELO HILL CLIMB
If you're a British Cycling member, you will have seen that we're coming into hill climb season. To that end, this year the club is hosting a hill climb on Long Lane, Arkesden.
The race will take place at 8am Saturday 14th October.
We're opening the event out to anyone willing to take place, with up to 100 entries. If you want to take part you'll need to register on Rider HQ:

SUNDAY RIDES
This week we're following SR02; we've only got a month left of the summer schedule so make the most of it! We'll be sending out some information about the winter schedule in a few weeks time - If you haven't already done so, now's the time to start prepping your bike for winter riding.
The Sunday schedule in the summer starts at 7:30am in the market square, try to arrive a few minutes early!
We run five groups in the summer:
Two hour "steady" (16 - 17mph average, no drops!): https://www.waldenvelo.com/sr2
Two hour "inters" (18mph average): https://www.waldenvelo.com/sr2
Two hour "tempo" (19+mph): https://www.waldenvelo.com/sr2
Three hour steady (16 - 17mph average): https://ridewithgps.com/routes/43132850
If you're running late, skip the loop down to Thaxted.
Three hour tempo (19+mph): https://ridewithgps.com/routes/44606491
If you're a little light on numbers, the first stretch of each steady route and tempo route match!
MIDWEEK RIDE - WEDNESDAY MORNING
We offer midweek morning rides throughout the year, and these will cover around 35 miles in a two hour ride. After the ride there's opportunity to chat at Bicicletta over a drink. The route this week is MW11. https://www.waldenvelo.com/mid-week-rides/
MIDWEEK RIDE - FRIDAY MORNING
The route for Friday's ride will be MW9. https://www.waldenvelo.com/mid-week-rides/
We look forward to seeing you out on the road!
Thanks,
Tom
