These Women's Coaching to Racing Sessions are a structured programme over 5 sessions that will give you the skills and confidence you need to enter your first road race! The venue is the Hillingdon cycle circuit, where you get 1 mile of lovely smooth tarmac with plenty of experienced coaches, so you can learn and improve your skills safely.
The main topics you'll cover are:
- Bunch riding
- Cornering
- Climbing and Descending
- Sprinting
- Attacking and bridging gaps
- Low-speed bike handling
- Strength and fitness

Each session builds on the last so the more you can attend the better, plus there'll be a mini-race at the end of each session to put your skills into practice.
