Deva Divas Training Days
This worked really well for both 2021 and 2022…..2023 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 posted 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.
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 Sally on devadivas@nullchestertri.org.uk as places are limited. Only 2 swim evenings for 2023.
