Our Saturday morning coaching sessions for the 2023 season restart on 4th March and will run until 14th October. These sessions are for either road biking on the tarmac track at Salt Ayre, or mountain biking on the grassy areas near the track. Track sessions consist of some skills training, and finish with an optional race around the track. Mountain bike sessions are all just good muddy fun.
Track sessions are 10am until 12noon, with registration open from 9.40am. They cost £3 each (contactless only) with your first time being a FREE TASTER session.
Mountain bike sessions are 50 minutes - Session 1 starts 10am / Session 2 starts 11.10am – and cost £2.50. These sessions must be pre-booked, initially via the Facebook page.
Once your child/ren have attended three sessions the annual membership of £20 is due. Your child/ren do not have to attend every session, but come when they can and pay for just the sessions they attend.
To attend the session they need a bike, helmet and gloves if they have them. We have club bikes available to borrow for those that do not have their own.
Children should wear tracksuit bottoms (not baggy) or leggings – definitely not jeans - plus a T-shirt and, let’s face it, probably a waterproof jacket. We have lots of cycling kit donated to the club, which is available for sale second hand at the Registration Desk.
We provide refreshments at break-time (10.50-11.10am), and cups of tea/coffee are available for parents throughout the sessions.
Please contact the Head Coach, David Leslie, if you have any questions, or just come along at 9.40 on a Saturday morning and we’ll sort you out. It would be helpful to have completed the consent form before you attend, because we will need to ask you to complete it before we can let you join in.
