Try a 70 minutes session experiencing different aspects of cyclocross riding. The sessions will help develop your skills in readiness for the coming race season that is starting in late September.
Sessions are aimed at progressing skills to become more proficient in techniques such as race starts, dismounts/remounts, cornering, carrying the bike, ascending & descending as well as riding the sand. Once again this season sand will be a feature!
Sessions will be led by a qualified cyclocross coach and will involve some coach led racing scenarios to give you the opportunity to apply your skills under pressure but at the same time riding in a fun & supportive environment.

2. A helmet that complies with current safety standards.
3. Clothing suitable for the weather conditions.
