FREE HEART START COURSE

I would be delighted to do something like this. I was also a trained first aider but my certification has lapsed and you can't get too much in the way of the refreshing anyway. Plus for anyone who has done something like this in the past, the best practice has changed in the last year or two. I'd hope to have someone recently trained around if , touch wood, I ever had a problem. Could we do it in the room at the pub in Eaton Socon where the committee sometimes meets? Does it have to be during the day or can it be in the evening - we'd catch a few more people.

Hi Stuart,

Welcome to the forum. Both Rooster and I are members of the club. He is currently the fastest on our Thursday evening time trials and is a very strong rider and triathlete but doesn't do that manny club runs as he is often racing on a Sunday. Whereas I am a mere human (and the webmaster of the site) and I do most of the Sunday runs.

If you can ride 40 miles at 15mph on your own, you'll most likely be OK on our Group 2 runs and it's much easier to ride in the group than on your own. See our FAQs and Club Runs pages (click on the buttons at the top of this page)for more info. Really, the only way to know is to try it and what better day than tomorrow - warm and sunny - 8:30 in the Market Square. If the group does split, we wait for people and we never leave people on their own miles from home. Of course, it would be up to you to monitor your heart rate and ride within your limits, and also everyone rides with the club at their own risk. We are friendly, there is a lot of socialising and like minded people to meet and if you've never ridden in a group before we'll help you learn how to do it.

Hope to see you

By the way, Stuart, just introduce yourself to one of the guys in club kit when you turn up. You'll know me by the notorious fact that I wear a cap and not a helmet in summer

Richard, how many do we need to make it worthwhile for the volunteers to turn up?
