Skills Coaching at UCLAN Arena

9.00am to 10.30am on Saturdays at the UCLAN Sports Arena’s closed road circuit. Aimed at riders of all ages, these sessions will provide progressive coaching sessions for new riders looking to gain confidence on a bike and learn some basic skills through to advanced riders looking to hone their skills and improve their fitness. The sessions are focussed on general skills so a mountain bike, cyclocross bike or road bike will be fine for this session.

At Red Rose we will never push riders to race but we like to give all riders the opportunity to try racing. With this in mind we will be using this session to answer any questions on road racing and will cover youth gear restrictions, race licences, sign on etc. We'll bring a few sets of rollers for riders to try since they are often used for warming up at races. This is in preparation for going to the Salt Ayre Cog Set Youth Race on Wednesday.

We are planning some mock races with the coach led scenarios. For the non-racers this will be an opportunity to put in to practice the skills you have learned so far this year,, including starts, group riding, cornering and sprinting!

£3.00 per session for Red Rose Olympic and other local club members
