Cinderella Training Series
It’s Cinderella training time again! This year we have three series to choose from - the Cinderella “Classic” Training Series, the Cinderella “Let’s Climb!” Training Series and the Cinderella “Challenge” Training Series. All Cinderella training series are for female riders only. Participation in the series is by pre- registration through Active.com and is limited to registered riders. The Cinderella training is for women of all riding levels, from beginning to experienced riders. For more information about the training series please visit the FFBC Cinderella web page.
Cinderella Training “Classic” and “Let’s Climb” groups met up at Alum Rock Park on February 15th
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.
This year we also have ride leaders will to lead a series they call “Less Aggressive Progressive” (LAP). The LAP rides will progress at a slower pace (T-M) to a metric century. The LAP series runs concurrently with the PRS.
