On Sunday Sunday 14th February, Sunday 28th February, Sunday 14th March and then every Sunday thereafter. Swimming, running, cycling or just wanting to improve your ‘fitness’ – these sessions are for you…
These sessions will be held at KLC in the main sports hall from 9:00 to 10:00
Still also running are the Wednesday evening sessions 18.30-19.30 at Downend Boxing Club, Northview (off Soundwell Road). – Cost £1.00 for each session.
Come to Kingswood Leisure Centre on Thursday 25th February for 19:30 -20:30 for swim video analysis. Our Coach James Eastwood, ’Beasty’ to his mates, will video our stroke and hopefully provide a copy of this to allow us to see what we are doing wrong!
We have an added bonus in that Trevor Kingdom of Black Sheep Sports will be visiting us to swim with us and then after the session from 20:45 give us a demo on Scott trainers - check out the details http://www.3-to-tri.co.uk/run_store_14.html he has offered some great club offers – these shoes generally retail for over £100 each

C U there
Meet at Clock Tower Page Park at 9:am – Steve Light to lead ride – Tea stop in Cheddar! Â Have fun
Just a little excerpt to keep you all motivated. This was a photo taken at the top of Blagdon Hill (is that its real name?) during a misty Sunday morning ride. The view from the top was magnificent with clear blue skies and the morning mist left far below. The only trouble being that we were all too nackered after the climb to appreciate the view!
Posted on behalf of Steve Light.
There is a regular bike ride every Saturday at 8:00am. Meeting place is the clock tower which can be found right in the middle of Page Park in Staple Hill.
The rides are currently around 50-60 miles and are done at a steady pace ensuring that nobody is left behind. Everybody welcome.
See you there!
Starting this Saturday (27th September 2008).
I have been organising these runs for the past 15 years, the routes and distances vary each week depending on the needs of the group. No one ever gets dropped! . It is much more enjoyable than road running and is a good social as well. Trail type shoes are useful as is a Camelbak ( 500-750ml per hour for your drinking needs) . You will see that there are two choices of distance, the main benefit of finishing at my house is that there are usually tea and biscuits provided by Alex. Perhaps those finishing at Swineford could bring a flask? The routes are more challenging when it gets colder and wetter.
Start # 1. 8:30am @ 13 Caverton Road,Saltford. Flat run along the river,past ‘Jolly Sailor’ pub and along riverbank to cycle path, over bridge at new platform/mooring stage, back along river to Swineford Picnic area.
Start # 2. 9:00am @ Swineford Picnic area. Hilly,muddy,wet run, up ‘The Gully’ to North Stoke, up The Sheeptrack’ to Lansdown golf course, along the top to Lansdown lane, long downhill to Upton Cheyney,
Along North Stoke lane to ‘Pipley Gully’ down to stream, up stream to North Stoke and back down the ‘Gully to the Picnic Area, end of run for those doing the shorter route.( Approx 5.5 miles)
From Swineford, along road to North Stoke turning, right towards the river, through Kelston Mills to cycle path , back to Claverton Road via Saltford High Street ( Approx 11 miles )

The first of the Autumnal mtb rides – will be leaving Riches at 9am this Sunday – poss 2-3 hr’s of hilly fun and games – bring a change of clothes !
C U there
Fortnightly Rides on Saturday Morning. The idea is to do about 40 miles with a cafe stop. No one will be dropped:
Sat 16th Aug: The first ride saw 5 of us out going to Malmesbury which saw Rachael and Chris giving myself and Maggie a bit of a work over until Mike managed to tame them.
Sat 30th Aug: Several of us went on, a bit longer than advertised, route to Berkeley where, to some people’s dismay, the café was full which left Rich to lead the time trial home
.
Next Ride
Meet Bitton 8.30am or Bottom of Milbury Heath Hill on Old Gloucester Rd just N of Thornbury on A38 at 9.30am to start practise. All meet up at Eastwood Park Garden Centre tea rooms bit further N on A38 at10.30am.

Kingswood Triathlon Club (KIT), Bristol has been around since the mid 80�s racing at all distances, and has had competitors in Long Course/Ironman distance events in the UK and abroad (including Hawaii ) during that time.
The club has consolidated its non-elitist, all inclusive membership ethos over the past few years with growing numbers competing in Frankfurt IM in both 2005 and 2007. 2009 sees the club achieving its all time record high of 45 athletes pre entered into IM Austria, ranging from newbies through to 30+ IM finishes.
The club encompasses a wide range of abilities from Novices to Age Groupers with a wealth of knowledge and experience.�
Formal training consists of weekly swim sessions at Kingswood Leisure Centre on a Thursday night from 19:30, Coached by James Eastwood (ASA/BT coach).� Other bike, turbo, run sessions and open water and pool swimming and general training support take place at various times over the week.� Other coaching and motivation is supplied by the club chairman, Richard James.
In the spring and summer some of the club cycle 40 miles to a South Cerney for a 1 hr open water secession, then cycle back followed by up to a 20 mile run along the Bristol to Bath cycle path! not for the faint hearted. This cycle path contributes a major part of our training both running and biking and not forgetting our joint Christmas Fun run with Bitton Road Runners.� We endeavor to keep fit during the winter competing in multi terrain run and mountain bike events such as Sodbury Slog, Dursley Dozen, Salisbury Challenge and Polaris.
