TRACK CLUSTER- PLUS

RACE PREPARATION SESSIONS

This is a British Cycling coached training session aimed at riders aged between 9 to 17 years who have already gained track accreditation or are working towards it, or riders who are wanting to gain more experience and confidence to race on the velodrome.

Riders from all regions will be accepted with priority being given to those from clubs from the North of England and Wales.

The sessions will be focused on building track racing fitness, race scenarios, race tactics and skills through coach led racing, mock races and advanced skill tuition.

Entries will be accepted on a first come basis and will be subject to approval by cluster coaching staff.

Applicants must hold current British Cycling membership and be a member of a British Cycling club.

Info for Riders

These are advanced training sessions aimed at riders who intend to race on the velodrome, you will be coached to develop your confidence and skills specifically for racing, this will include:

• close group riding,
• moving through the bunch,
• sprinting,
• team time trialling,
• track stands,
• madison
• and plenty of additional scenarios to help you become a better track racer.

You will need to bring rollers if you have them, healthy snacks and drinks and plenty of energy and enthusiasm !
