SHORT COURSE RIDE

Session Overview:
The Saturday Short Course Ride is where the engine gets built and then sharpened. It is all about aerobic base, strength endurance and consistency on the bike, the foundation that carries you into the harder, faster work of race season. We roll a steady road ride along Beach Road: controlled pacing, durability and efficient riding technique, not speed. Open to all athlete levels (must be a current Tri-Alliance member). Check your training program for the week’s distance and stay updated via the newsletter or by speaking with your coach.

What to Bring:

• Nutrition and hydration appropriate for the conditions.
• Front and rear lights, essential in low light and on early starts.
• Spare tubes, tools, and a pump or CO2.
• Money and a mobile phone for emergencies.
• Tri-Alliance riding gear (mandatory for squad safety and team spirit).

Schedule:

• Meet at Elwood Beach for a 7:00am departure.
• Ride in your ability group and follow the programmed distance.
• Route options: Mordialloc / Station St / Frankston / Safety Beach.
• Check programs for distances and the newsletter for any changes, or speak with your coach.

Important Notes:

• You MUST check in for this session so everyone is accounted for.
• Dress for the conditions, layer up on cold mornings and stay warm, dry and safe.
• You’re responsible for your personal belongings throughout the session.
• Ride smart, stay safe, and represent the squad with pride!
