They use the Wattbike indoor bike, which was developed in conjunction with British Cycling and measures key parameters of cycle fitness including; peak & average power, max & average heart rate, power to weight ratio, left and right leg power and pedalling technique analysis. They then use this data to calculate heart rate and power training zones to ensure that riders can train smarter and cycle faster. Full details and prices are on their website.

Discounts on holiday accommodation in the Pyrenees

bikes pyrenees

Club Member David Hutchins is offering substantial discounts to club members on the cost of renting his chalet in the Pyrenees. The very informative website is here.

David is offering FCCC members 10% price reductions in high season (June to August) and an incredibly generous 20% for the rest of the year. He writes:

"From our Chalet there are several climbs of 1300 to 2000m within easy riding distance; we are on the Cathar trail with Montsegur only a couple of hours or so riding or 30 mins in the car if you prefer. If you don't feel like riding the mountains you can go in the opposite direction and there are an unlimited number of beautiful rides over moderately undulating roads. There is also plenty of 'off road' for those who prefer it. In addition there is usually at least one Tour de France mountain top finish not so far away at places such as Axe le Thermes and Plateau de Beille and there are many 'en route' viewing spots."

Up to 20% discount for members on bespoke steel-framed bikes.

Racer Rosa is a bicycle shop based in Walthamstow, East London, which specialises in bespoke steel framed bikes. Frames are made-to-measure, and they offer professional bike fitting sessions or can also match the geometry of riders' existing racing bikes.

They are offering FCCC members 20% off when two or more members place an order, or 10% off a single order.

Their web site is worth a look, including examples and prices of customer bikes on this page (scroll down).

If you are interested, please let Alan know in addition to contacting the shop - so that the best possible discount can be achieved.

Discounts on energy drinks and other nutrition products

Members of the club can obtain big discounts (30% or more on top brands) on sports drinks, gels, recovery drinks, energy bars etc..

Discounts at local cycle shops

Club members can get 10% discount off full retail/marked prices (but not in conjunction with any sale offers or already-discounted items) for most bikes, spares and accessories at these local bike shops on production of their membership card. The details of the offers vary slightly from place to place, so please check the data for each shop.

All of these shops will attempt to order items in for you (typically 2-3 day delivery to the shop) and will also internet price match where they can, but please bear in mind that their range will be much less and volumes will be much lower than the big on-line retailers so they may not have items stocked or be able to match or beat internet prices on some items. It's good to support these local retailers, all of whom have agreed to carry club information on their sales counters (to help us attract new members), so please call them to see if they can help on any purchases you are planning. If they do price match you will need to take along printed proof of the on-line price in addition to your membership card.
