Training talk with Ruth Eyles 29 October, Rednal Social Club
Dave Cole and I have organised for Beacon member and cycling coach Ruth Eyles, who many of you know, to come and give a talk on the evening of 29 October. Ruth will be giving some general training advice, with a focus on the following:
*Setting good goals
*Identifying the demands of events
*Types of training
*What training is right for you?
*Planning, doing and recording training
The talk will take place at Rednal Social Club, starting at 19:30 and will last approximately two hours. There will be plenty of opportunity to ask Ruth questions.
I suggested to the committee that we could invite Ruth to give a talk primarily with people who race in mind, but the talk is open to all Beacon members who are interested, and I'm sure that Ruth will be able to give advice regardless of your cycling goals.
If you would like to attend, it would be helpful if you could let me know by posting below or contacting me directly, so that I have an idea of numbers. Thanks to the committee for agreeing to support this event.

An informative and elegant presentation with a light touch.
Pity I arrived a shade late for these gems...by about 48 yrs! Good to see some of the younger members there and hopefully to benefit from someone who really knows what it takes.
On behalf of myself and all those present, thank you v much Ruth.
