Want to be in the breakaway? Want to bridge the gap? Want to win the sprint? Get that KOM? Not get dropped?
Matchbox is a group training ride created by lionrockcycling. Aimed at riders who want to increase the number of matches they will be able to burn on a ride or in a race.
There will be a warm up (approx 10mins) at the start, before the main set of approx 4.5w/kg (match) effort. Regroup and recovery at 2.5w/kg. Ride will end with 10 minutes of regroup recovery.
Duration will depend on course schedule, but will last approx 45mins to 1 hour.
These match efforts will vary in length and intensity each week, so keep an eye on the Facebook group page for all the details. .
These sessions are aimed at riders wanting to increase their competitive edge. But it is still done as a group ride.
The recovery period is designed to keep riders as close together on the course. Riders are not to speed off the front. Only work at your designated W/KG zone, and then regroup.
Riders to amend name to show LRC in order to raise the profile of this event and group, e.g. YOUR NAME LRC. This is so we can keep an eye on rider during the session. We are also looking for people to join the LRC racing teams, male and female. Head over to the Facebook group page for further information.
Hope is not a strategy.
Everyone is welcome. Have fun and be safe. Time to burn.
