MAIDENHEAD & DISTRICT CYCLING CLUB

Coaching

Saturday 10-12

There are regular basic skills coaching sessions in Braywick Sports Ground behind the WAMDSAD building. The program is based on the GoRide 'Gears' system and is provided by our British Cycling trained coaches (give one of our coaches a ring to find the time of the next session and book a place - their numbers are on the Personnel page).

It starts with very simple exercises such as riding in a straight line, gaining confidence to manoeuvre around cones at low speed, and some simple competitive circuits (riding under limbo poles, slaloms, etc.). Later sessions include short rides out into nearby quiet lanes.

Please wear a helmet, and bring a bottle of water. Sunblock is recommended too. Typically you'll need a bike with good tyres and in a road-worthy state. The bike will be checked at the start of the session.
