THIS GIRL CAN - Confidence & Skills Development Coaching Session (weekly series of three)
Friday 30th August 2019 7:00pm
Starting from - We will meet at Brooklands Park cycle track, which is tucked in the northern corner of Brooklands Park, next to Western Road (BN15 8SA).
There is free car parking right next to the cycle track (on the lane that leads to a Southern Water plant) or pay parking inside the main entrance to the park (then turn right along a path to get to the cycle track).
There are public toilets next to the car park, but note that they close at 7pm.
If some riders want to catch the train from Brighton or Worthing, one of the ride leaders will guide riders from Lancing train station to Brooklands. We will message riders a few days beforehand to see if anyone wants this.
If you can't find the cycle track, call Alison, your coach and ride leader, on 07967 094967, BN15 8SA

(Note - you can book and attend individual sessions, but the coaching is progressive so your riding will benefit more from coming on all three weekly sessions.)
This series of cycle coaching sessions will build your skills and confidence on your bike, as well as improving your ability to ride with other riders. We will start each session with a chat about which skill we will be focusing on that week and a quick bike and helmet safety check.
The focus of the coaching will depend partly on the skill level of the group, but is likely to include:
- Starting (pedal ready) and stopping safely
- Using both brakes effectively
- Controlling your bike
- Looking behind whilst riding
- Using gears to manage your energy on a ride
- Riding one-handed so that you can signal and drink whilst riding
- Cornering
- Group riding
The coaching sessions and rides will be led by Alison & Sally, fully qualified and insured British Cycling Coaches and Ride Leaders.
