 Additional Stages Session -  Vinyasa Yoga - Bike Fit Workshop - Tri January - Xmas Coffee Rides - Christmas Training 

Well done to everyone who took part and thank you to  the marshalls at last weekend's Christmas BaRRT. Amazingly the rain stopped just in time and the sun even tried to make an appearance! Once again there was an amazing array of costumes and decorated bikes.  We also raised £110 for Oxsrad.


Additional Stages Cycling Session
We are delighted to announce that from  21 January we will be running an additional Stages cycling session, on Tuesday evenings at Oxford University Sports on Iffley Road. The Tuesday evening sessions will run until the end of April and restart again in October

If you haven't tried one of these popular sessions yet, Stages Cycling is an advanced version of indoor cycling where users focus on power using gauges on a screen in front of you. 

Vinyasa Yoga for Triathletes 
After the success of the Yoga classes, yoga teacher Rebecca Walker will deliver another series of classes exclusively to OxfordTri members.

The next series of 5 classes will run from 28 January to 25  February, 7pm - 8:15pm at Oxsrad. The cost to participate to the whole series for our members is only £25. Space in the Studio is limited therefore make sure you secure your place as soon as possible.

Retul bike fit workshop
Mark Harvey from Take3tri has offered to lead a Retul bike fit seminar for OxfordTri members and this is going to be on 7 January at Oxsrad. 

The idea of the session will be to demonstrate the Retul 3D motion capture, bike fitting system using a member of the tri club as a guinea pig!

It will cover all aspects of the fitting process, from the most common issues such as the set up of cleats and pedals, saddle position adjustments, bar options and set-up...along with more unusual and often ignored issues. Both road and tri bikes will be discussed and there will be something for all levels and abilities. We ran a similar event at Oxtri about 4-5 years ago, with great interest and feedback.

The session demo will last about 60 mins with a further 20-30 mins or so for questions and general discussion.

Sign up here.


Tri January
In January we will be running some Tri January events as part of Biritish Triathlon's campaign to get more people involved with the sport. More details to follow but tell anyone you know who may be interested to look out for details.

Xmas coffee rides 🎅☕️ 🍰  🎄 
This Sunday myself and Dave Broadribb will lead two Xmas coffee rides, basically the same route with the intermediate 1 ride going slightly further than the intermediate 2, with the intention of both rides meeting for coffee and cake at The Old Shed in Charlbury, Dave has highly recommended the cake! Although they do take cards there is a minimum spend of £10 so unless you are going to have lots of cake it might be an idea to have some cash on you.

Routes:
Intermediate 2
Intermediate 1 

Currently the weather looking dry but chilly but please make sure you have appropriate clothing with you. As usual leaving Oxsrad at 9.15.

Christmas Training Sessions
This was our last full week of training before the Christmas break but we do have one final Static Bike session on 23 December and, in addition, Bernard is also going to lead a Hill Run (with recovery drinks) that evening instead of Tuesday. Sessions will start up again in the week commencing 6 January. You can check out the sessions on the calendar. 

Also watch out on our  Facebook page for any impromptu rides that might be going out.


I hope you all manage to have a good break over the festive period and we will see you at a training session in the New Year.

Merry Christmas
