This year a new longer route has been proposed. The new route will follow the current route east of Warren Row, then will divert off to the east and follow current routes. Thank you to Wokingham Cycle club for developing the new route. More details will be published in April.
We would also like to say a big thank you to Roger Duckworth for sponsoring this year’s Bikeathon 2023.
We would like to thank Nuffield health for the support they gave, they ran a warm-up session last year before the cycling event.
The importance of a warm up
Preparing your body for exercise such as a bike ride is important to prevent injury. Warm ups and cool downs for physical activity are almost as important as the activity itself. A good warm up helps dilate the blood vessels ensuring that your muscles are well supplied with oxygen and raises your body and muscle temperature for increased flexibility and efficiency. It also raises your heart rate to bring it up to your starting training rate which minimises stress on your heart when you start.
