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. We will start each session with an hour's coaching at the Preston Park cycle track, then head out for an hour's ride together, usually heading for a cafe where we will pause before returning into Brighton. 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 - Riding one-handed so that you can eat and drink whilst riding - Climbing hills - Descending hills - Cornering - Group riding Each hour's coaching session will then be followed up by an hour's ride together, applying our learning on the open road. 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 and she will have an assistant ride leader with her to ensure no-one gets left behind on the ride.
