SPECIAL HAPPENINGS

Starting This Month
Beginning this month there are three training series, the Cinderella training series and CHALLENGE Cinderella training series, both for female riders, and the Progressive Ride Series for all club members and potential club members.

Cinderella Training Rides
Beginning this month there are two training series, the Cinderella Classic training series and Cinderella CHALLENGE training series, both for female riders. Participation in the series is by pre- registration and is limited to registered riders. The Cinderella training is for women of all riding levels, from beginning to experienced riders. The Classic Training is right for you if you are comfortable on your bike, can ride 10 miles, and are eager to learn how to ride on the road and in a group. The Challenge Training series is right for you if you like riding, are in shape to ride 35 miles in about 4 hours, and want to gain group-riding skills.
Both of our Cinderella training series consists of an ORIENTATION and BIKE RODEO (attendance for both is mandatory!), followed by TEN RIDES. Each ride will build on the skills and strength you built the week prior, getting progressively longer and more challenging as the training series continues. Build strength, endurance, confidence, team riding, and mechanical skills with encouragement and technical tips from other women!
Please see the Cinderella web page of the FFBC website (http://www.ffbc.org/cinderella/) for additional information.

Progressive Rides
The Progressive Ride Series (PRS) is designed to get riders in condition to do a full century. The PRS starts with shorter and flatter rides and gradually builds up to the full century, which is the Worker’s Ride in April and follows the Primavera route. Rainouts will not alter the schedule of the series. The emphasis is on an M pace, which will be offered for each PRS ride. Other paces may or may not be supported, look at each ride description in the calendar for this information.
