Summer trainings
The summer season runs from the end of March to the end of October, during the winter we organize a different training.
All summer cycling trainings start from the parking lot on the Boerderijweg, opposite the Cubicus. The starting time of the trainings varies throughout the season, depending on what time the sun sets, but usually the trainings start at 18:00.
Rules during the trainings
The rules for riding in a group during our training are all described in this. Please read this through carefully, you may be asked if you read it at the start of your first training. The main points in the document are as follows: it is mandatory to wear a helmet, always have an ID-card and/or insurance-card with you, bring enough food and drinks with you.
During the training, we often ride in a group. To make sure this way of riding is done safely, you need to take some points in consideration. First, make sure your bike is in a good condition. Next, make sure that you follow the general Dutch traffic rules and our riding in a group rules and signals. The signals can be read in the document linked above.
Lastly, we advise you to wear cycling trousers. The shammy will make sure that you ride way comfier!
No bike? No problem! Klein Verzet has multiple rent bikes available (both road and MTB bikes). If you would like to rent a bike, for during a training or just to try out, please contact the board here.
Monday: Tour training
Every Monday the tour committee sets out a nice round of about 50 to 60 kilometers through the Twente Landscape. The training is open to all our members and is the perfect training to get acquainted with the association. The average speed is between 25 and 30 km/h, if everyone can keep up. The group consists of a maximum of 12 cyclists, so if necessary two or more groups are created.
Dinsdag: Intermediate training
De intermediate training is bedoeld voor alle leden die sneller willen worden en hun techniek op de fiets willen verbeteren. De training wordt gegeven door twee trainers, die aangeven wat we gaan doen en je tijdens de training tips geven hoe je nog beter kan
The intermediate training is intended for all members who want to become faster and improve their technique on the bike. The training is given by two trainers, who indicate what we are going to do and give you tips during the training on how to become even better. During the training, use is made of several types of training elements, such as fan riding and a time trial. These are more intensive intervals, which makes the intermediate training more intensive than the tour training. However, if you can keep up with the Monday training, in terms of level and technique, nothing stands in your way to join an intermediate training.
Wednesday: MTB training
With an enthusiastic group of mountain bikers we make the tracks around Enschede unsafe. The training is suitable for every mountain biker, crosser and racing cyclist who wants to venture on narrow paths, beautiful bends and (occasionally) a tree in the way. The track around the Hulsbeek contains technical climbing and descending, beautiful wooden obstacles and rock gardens, which is why this playground is regularly visited during the training. Other locations are the single tracks of Haaksbergen and the Rutbeek. The training is suitable for every level, with regular waiting for each other after a piece of single track.
On Thursday it is the turn of the fast members of the association. During the competition training they prepare themselves for riding competitions. The level of this training is therefore also high. To keep the level high and not to endanger the safety of the riders, this is a closed training. This means that you can only participate in this training if you have received permission from one of our trainers. This will give permission if he/she thinks that you have enough experience and ability to participate well in the competition training.
Op donderdag is het de beurt aan de snelle leden van de vereniging. Tijdens de wedstrijdtraining bereiden zij zich voor op het rijden van wedstrijden. Het niveau van deze training ligt daarom ook hoog. Om het niveau hoog te houden en de veiligheid van de rijders niet in gevaar te brengen, dit is een gesloten training. Dit houdt in dat je alleen aan deze training kan deelnemen als je daarvoor toestemming hebt gekregen van één van onze trainers. Deze zal toestemming geven als hij/zij denkt dat je genoeg ervaring en vermogen hebt om goed deel te kunnen nemen aan de wedstrijdtraining.
