Peterculter Training Rides

Peterculter Training Rides Training rides from Peterculter on Tuesday evenings @ 6pm, and Saturdays @ 9am, opposite Culter Spar - all year round. Please be self-sufficient.

Check page for ride plans, all rides will be set out on the page beforehand. Winter Rides - The Road Race Team meet on Tuesdays at 1800 at Peterculter bus stop, opposite Spar. Now into winter we will be doing night rides, 40 miles at Z2-Z3, starting steady in October building up to spring. Lights and mudguards are essential, as are good group riding skills. Please ensure your bike is in

good working order and carry appropriate spares / tools. Route - http://ridewithgps.com/routes/10699467

Summer Rides - The Road Race Team meet at 1800 at Peterculter bus stop, opposite Peterculter Spar. Spin out to Floras where two sets of two laps, APR style, on the circuit will be covered. The last Tuesday of the month will be a longer ride, to keep things fresh. Handicapping means the rides are suited to a range of abilities. The training is road race orientated, good group riding skills are essential. Mechanicals, nature breaks and dropped riders will not be waited on by the group (emergencies / injuries excepted). Thursday in winter CX rides - 6pm on the deeside line at the location in the link below (under the bridge, in the spooky darkness). Around 1.5 hours taking in Countesswells woods, Brimmond hill, Tyrebagger woods, the coast path to Cove, Tullos hill, Kincorth hill and Tollohill woods (not all on the same night!). Not usually any formal CX racing drills, just a cruise around the woods. Routes will be with a CX bike in mind, but a light xc mtb would do too (could argue it’s more appropriate in some instances…). https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/57%C2%B007'00.0%22N+2%C2%B010'27.1%22W/@57.1167845,-2.1824022,15z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x0:0x0!7e2!8m2!3d57.1166721!4d-2.1742056

Hi all,

It’s been a while. How are you all doing?? 🤣

Who fancies an old school ride this Saturday. Meet at Culter for 0900. Head out to Banchory, Strachan, Monument and Dinnet (APR to Aboyne via Ordie) and back to Banchory via Torphins and Jampots with sprints at the 30s on the way back?

Looks like we have 6-8 confirmed and hopefully we have enough for a couple of groups to cater for differing objectives.

Hi all,

The ride for Thursday 24th June will take a new route this week. Just to mix it up a bit - as we have picked the same 2 x routes recently, we are going to head up the Learney from Echt and down into Torphins and back to Garlogie.

We have had good numbers recently, so hopefully we can keep building on these and ultimately get multiple groups established to cater for everyone’s needs.

The plan is to keep it steady up the Learney, to make sure we all stay together for the climb.

If you are coming, please ensure your bike is in good working order and you are self-sufficient.

16/06/2021

Hi all,

The weekly ride is on for a Saturday 19th June - unless you are racing.

Personally, I am time constrained, so I was thinking we can head over to Stonehaven and back over the Slug to Crathes.

If you are inclined, you have a peel off at the base of the Garrol, SDR or Crathes to continue your meanderings.

As usual, make sure your steed is in good working order and you are self-sufficient.
