ROAD RIDE: Advanced

Coordinator: Tanya Colwell

Distance: 46 km

Pace: 25+ km/h 

Elevation Gain: around 500m

Meeting place: Eden Brook Parking Lot

Wheels rolling @ 6:00 p.m. - please arrive at least 15 minutes early so we can start on time

Intended to be a hill training/interval workout on a scenic route. Instead of hill "repeats", we will do a fartlek-style workout using natural terrain and hills. A couple of good Strava segments along the way. 

1. Escarpment Drive

2. TWP Rd 250 Westbound (short, sharp climb from bottom of OBCR)

3. Springbank Heights ("Up and then up again")

4. Hackamore Trail (Watch out for the speed bumps)

5. Final ascent of OBCR (main climb of 4 km starts at the "Y" junction w RR 31 and finishes at Artists' View)

We will aim for a Zone 1-2 (active recovery) pace in between hill climbing intervals.
