A bit last-minute but this weekend, 6th & 7th September, we will be doing a gravel training weekend. Cannot make that? Might also do one the following weekend as well. PM to add to group!
Freshen up those off-road legs and gravel skills!
Beginners: You can try out on two flatish sections. Focus on braking, cornering and steep hill climb starts. We will do some drills with you and provide feedback so you can focus on building your confidence and having fun!
Intermediate to advanced: focus on whatever you like 🙂 and a good chance to test out your gear.
Over evening beers we will chat about gravel races, events we’ve done, tire pressures and enjoy a BBQ together.
Its Free! No cost to join if you are our guest, and we will also provide a complimentary van, cold refreshments and nibbles. FYI we will start super early to try and beat the serious heat. Bring your own gravel or mountain bike or rent one of ours for two days at half cost. Want to stay an extra night (Thursday or Sunday) and we will provide that night free!
Saturday: reservoir and Daming gravel – Beginner 50km and 95km intermediate, 2 to 3 gravel segments. We will do some short repeats, testing out different tire pressures. One timed challenge segment per day with a fun little gift for the top 3. Feeling super strong, and if overcast, then add the Botanical climb.
Sunday: black hills gravel – 50km, 3 gravel segments. Test out tubeless tire puncture repair on our test tires. A skill you should know!
Book rooms the usual way, www.wildhomestay.com and tell our wechat service account to add you to our weekend gravel group. Warning! We will check that you have insurance (if not 30rmb) and sign a waiver!
