Project Description
ROAD RACING
Road cycling involves both team and individual events. Races may be held over a number of stages or as single days. Other events include time trials (both team and individual) and criteriums (a race of varying number of laps around a circuit of roads). Races vary in distance from a few kilometres for some criteriums, to individual stages of 250 km or more.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Road cycling primarily requires strength and endurance, although anaerobic capacity may be called upon in breakaways, hill climbing and all-out sprints to the line.
