Bike Position Setup
As a Triathlete, whatever your level of physical ability, you won't perform at your best without a safe, comfortable and efficient riding position. To help you achieve this we run regular workshops for club members.
This 2 hour workshop will be delivered in two halves. The first, delivered by a member of the Man Tri coaching team, will look at guidelines for:
- Setting a general riding position
- Setting a time trial position
- Setting up a time trial position on a road bike
- Issues in selecting the correct size frame
- Recording your riding position
- Common issues and injuries related to bike fit
Workshop #1
- Date & Time: Fri 13th August 2010, 19:00-21:00

What do you need to bring: You are welcome to bring along your bike and a turbo trainer if you wish, as we will can use some participants as examples. However, if you prefer, just to watch and listen then that is fine too. The online resource back ups what is delivered so you can try things at home in your own time.
What do you need to wear: Come in whatever you feel comfortable. If you bring your bike then it's worth bringing a pair of cycling shorts and your cycling shoes.
Cost: Like any other club session it will be free for gold members and one training voucher for bronze. Please bring along your membership card.
