WNS – 26th May 2021

by | May 26, 2021 | Training, WNS

Back to our regular groups this week after last weeks XC extravaganza.
It was great to see such a fantastic turnout and huge thanks to everyone who took part.
Huge thanks to Josh, Pete and Victoria for leading the respective groups and I’m sure it won’t be long before another evening will be arranged.
So this week it’s back to our local trails evening out on the trails, weather looks to be fairly good with a forecast of 14c and a WSW wind of 12 mph. Only an 11% chance of rain which overall will make a very pleasant evening.
From the 2/6/21 until the 10/7/21 the ring road in Newhaven will be closed from 8pm until 5am.
To help with Striders coming from the other side of Newhaven get home afterwards Graham’s group will start at the slightly earlier time of 6:15.
If you have any queries about the groups regarding pace, distance etc please contact the group leaders or email secretary@seafordstriders.org.uk and I will pass it on.
Please note the change of start point for the 6:30 group and Julie’s 7pm group, we will be trialling this start point for a few weeks as it enables us to go straight out on the trails
Please read the following carefully.
