Training This Week: November 5 to November 11

Remember: It is dark earlier now, so we need to both be seen and be able to see!

  • SO…wear a bright coloured t-shirt (if cold then wear it over your warm up jacket).
  • Wear clothing with reflective material!!
  • And finally, you will need a head lamp so that you can see where you are going 🙂
