    Training Plan – 8 Weeks To Go

     

    Over the next 4 weeks, you should try to get out for the following road sessions although more likely you will continue with indoor turbo training midweek this month. If time and weather allows an outdoor pedal in the countryside can be nice to clear the head and gain some road miles.

    Hesitating to sign up to an event 6 months away?
    We know you might be worried about picking up an injury that would prevent you from joining us on the day, so why not buy the @yellowjerseyuk event day insurance?

    Have a read of the policy, then add it to your basket during registration and give yourself the reassurance that you are covered for a refund, in case your circumstances change.

    Remember, not having trained enough does not count as a reason for a refund!
