Deva Divas Training Days

Cycle the Route

Monday 9th June and Monday 16th June 2025 (TBC)

This  has worked really well for the last few years…..2025 will follow the same pattern and there will again be some ‘cycle the route’ evenings organised.  A small group with a coach/bike leader to ride the Divas cycle route.  The group will stop at several intervals during the ride with coach/bike leaders answering any questions / giving helpful pointers!  Dates will be confirmed nearer the time.

The group will be small and will stay together for the duration of the ride.  Doesn’t matter whether you ride a mountain bike or a road bike – it’s all about getting used to the route and picking up useful information!  And having fun of course!!

Any Divas wishing to attend a training day MUST pre-register by sending an email to devadivas@nullchestertri.org.uk.  There may be more than one group if numbers are sufficient.

Meeting place will be at the White Gate into the Meadows on the corner of Elizabeth Crescent/Lower Park Road, Queen’s Park, Handbridge CH4 7BB.  Time and date TBA.

Swim Training Evenings

Wednesday 11th June and 18th June 2025

The swim training evenings will be based from the Kayak/Canoe Club on Sandy Lane.  This will give Divas a chance for more open water swim practise in the River Dee.  Arrive at the Sandy Lane Kayak Club by 6.15 for a prompt 6.30 pm start in the river.

There will be a chance to ask coaches any questions at each evening.  There will be a small charge of £3 per session – tea/coffee and biscuits included.

Ladies wishing to take part in the swim training MUST email devadivas@nullchestertri.org.uk as places are limited.

Some of you may know where the Canoe Club is, if you don’t, see the map below. 
Directions are: 
Come into Sandy Lane from the Chester end, hopefully you will find a parking space on the roadside but if it is busy there is a car park at the bottom of Sandy Lane by the river/play area.  If you come into Sandy Lane from Sainsbury’s Huntington direction the car park is on your left hand side – park here and walk up to the club at the top of Sandy Lane.  Just before the very top (before the Mount pub), there is a grey gate on the left leading down to the club house and riverside.
