Road Cycling Meet-Up Level 3

 

Target Group and Requirements

The Meet-Up Level 3 is aimed at sport-oriented participants who prefer cycling in a group. On average we reach a speed of 30 kilometers per hour. The range is approximately 60 kilometers to 100 kilometers with a one percent incline.

A prerequisite is safe riding in a group by using hand signals. Regular participation is advisable, as the distance increases during the semester.

Contents and Goals

This event is primarily about riding together and having fun on a road bike with the same level of performance as a balance to everyday life. We explore the most beautiful routes in the triangle of the region Aachen, Eifel, Hohesvenn and the Mergelland on low-traffic roads. If necessary, we give tips on how to optimize the riding style, the seating position or answer questions about the technique.

A change to another group is possible depending on the training level and course capacities.

Particularities

For the road bike meet-up Level 3, 2 to 3 hours should be planned, in the summer even a little more. In the course of the season, with increasing fitness, longer rides can be completed. We deepen different techniques such as "the Belgian gyro".
