Road cycling is a cycling sport which combines explosiveness, endurance and technique. There are several distinct disciplines within road cycling, including time trials, team time trials and mass starts. The sport has become extremely popular in recent years and more and more people are buying racing bikes.
Cycling association WTOS Delft organizes the road cycling training sessions in cooperation with X. You can only participate in the road cycling training sessions as a member of this association. All the training sessions start at the X terrain. Before you get going, everyone is divided into groups according to their ability and the trainer outlines the goals for the session. During a session you’ll usually ride 60 kilometres – from Delft to Hoek van Holland and back again. During the training session, you’ll focus on improving your technique and endurance.
