  • Training Ride - TER Ride on Saturday April 7th is on.   (directions)

    Winter danced all over our training ride schedule but ready or not, April is here anyway. Saturday rides will now wind into the hills. This Saturday, April 7 the ride will again launch from the Morrison (Rooney Rd) rally point at 9:00. Please arrive early for a quick briefing on the day. The route will take us into some climbing, influenced by the weather outlook. Keep an eye on the weather forecast. The focus of the next block of Saturday rides will incorporate climbing. Please see the Hill Climb section below for the latest from Robin on TER's HC Series and HC training.
