Pro Cycling Aarau – Training Programme

We organise our training rides into three ability levels: Peloton, Gruppetto and Cortado. In the Peloton, we ride at an ambitious pace with an average speed of around 29–31 km/h. In the Gruppetto, we ride at around 25–27 km/h and welcome riders of average fitness. In the Cortado group, we offer training sessions for beginners or those who prefer a more leisurely pace (approx. 22–24 km/h). Each group comprises between 10 and 25 people and is led by a scout.

Training sessions usually take place as follows:

• Tuesday 6.30 pm – Duration: approx. 2–2.5 hours, distance: approx. 60 km and 600 metres of elevation gain (Gruppetto) and up to 1,200 metres of elevation gain (Peloton).
• Thursday 6.30 pm – Duration: approx. 2 hours, Distance: approx. 40–50 km (Cortado)
• Saturday 1.30 pm – Duration: approx. 3 hours, distance: approx. 70–90 km and 1,200 metres of elevation gain depending on the route; the pace will be adjusted according to the registered participants.

Our meeting point is always Schlossplatz in Aarau (in front of the KuK / Oscar One). Rides take place regularly during the summer months; in the winter season, we have a more spontaneous programme, depending on the weather.

A detailed description of each ride, including a GPX file of the route, is posted on this website in advance. We ask all participants to register for the rides in advance. All you need to do is create a login on this website.
