Pretzelfest +After Party p/b Velos
Group Ride
EVENT DESCRIPTION
All aspiring cyclists need a foundation of endurance work combined with good fuelling, so we've combined them in one salty treat!
Each week we'll have two pace groups taking on one of the infamous Pretzels, getting progressively longer each week. Although the ride officially stops at 2 hours, we strongly encourage you to carry on for the after party, and bag that route badge.
Pick your intensity wisely, 2.0w/kg (red beacon) will be zone 2 for many cat C riders, 2.5w/kg (yellow beacon) is zone 2 for moderate to high cat B riders (or choose to push your w/kg a bit higher by using a MTB).
The Velos jersey is unassigned during this event but you will unlock it if you complete the 2 hour ride, please wear our jersey to show your support if you have it in your garage🙏. Long rides can drag on your own, so jump in, and Team Velos will help the time fly past with the friendly chat and questionable jokes. Don't forget to grab a bidon or two, and bring some snacks!
Week 1 - The London Pretzel. 55.6km, 531m elevation.
Week 2 - The OG "The Pretzel". 72.9km, 1,362m elevation.
Week 3 - The Makuri Pretzel. 77.6km, 616m elevation.
Week 4 - The Mega Pretzel. 107km, 1,640m elevation.
Week 5 (month dependent) - Riders choice (determined on week 4)
