The following presentation has been put together by the Triathlon section of SAC. The idea is to give a better insight and recommendations for fellow club members on some good quality multi sport events. If you do enter any of these events, can you please inform Jon and then he will update his internal participant SAC list. This will help for anyone who wants to car-share or train together for a specific event. (Plus it will help bond club members). Go on, enter a race or two, maybe you will surprise yourself and really enjoy it? 2013 S.A.C Multisport Targeted Events

Event; Time Trial – 5mile, Steyning Date; 9th April 2013 at 6:30pm Distance; 5 mile bike Cost;£3.50 Description; A local weekly event held by Brighton Excelsior Cycling club. You don’t need the latest cycling equipment, just turn up at the car park near the Steyning Health Center off Tanyard Lane 45min -1hr beforehand and register, get your number and ride on the Horsham Road off the A283 heading towards Partridge Green as fast as you can for 5 miles. Roads are safer than the A283, its good practice for your bike related events later on in the year. Remember its about YOU vs the clock…

The South downs national park will give competitors a small taster of some of the most exciting biking in the home counties. The flatish rural trails/paths/roads that make up the run should give potential for another PB split. Weblink;
