The first turbo session of the year and a real 'must do' for those heading to Mallorca in March!
The session will be based on one of the best Sufferfest sessions of the series, the Downward Spiral. See below for details...
Sessions are £2 to cover room hire. There is a big and effective fan but you're welcome to bring your own. If you want a spin bike because you don't have a turbo or can't bring one, please let Adrian know in advance (there are usually two available).
Bring bike, turbo, towel, lots of fluids, drip mat pref and a smile.
Arrive time from 8pm, starting 8.15-8.20pm depending on numbers. The session runs for an hour.
