April Evenings Rider Development Coaching and Ride Series

This series of combined coaching sessions and rides will build your skills and confidence on your bike, as well as improving your ability to ride close to other riders. Each session will combine coaching on the shared-use paths of Hove Park along with circuits of the park with its sweeping bends and gentle slopes (5 miles total). The skills coaching is supportive and patient, and we ride at the pace of the slowest in the group, never leaving anyone behind. The focus of the coaching will depend partly on the skill level of the group, but is likely to include: - Using gears to manage your energy on a ride - Cornering - Group riding - Climbing hills - Descending hills The coaching sessions and rides will be led by Alison, a fully qualified British Cycling Level 2 Road & Time Trial Coach and Level 2 Ride Leader. Alison ran a similar Rider Development series in the winter - it was hugely popular and most sessions were fully booked with waiting lists, so get in early if you want to secure your FREE place! You MUST wear a cycling helmet for this ride. We also recommend you bring a drink, snack, spare inner tube for your particular bike, and clothing appropriate for the weather. If you have any questions about the sessions, contact Alison on 07967 094967 or [email protected]
