As part of the Women and Veterans Series 2010, Scottish Cycling is pleased to announce 3rd Women's Development Coaching Session on 7th August at Ingliston Showground.

These coach led sessions aim to teach women of all abilities the skills for road racing. Working with Scottish Cycling's performance development coaches you will have the chance to develop your skills in a positive environment where the focus will be on skill development rather than physical ability.

The session will focus on:

• bunch riding skills and confidence,
• cornering,
• accelerations in and out of the saddle

Using coaching sessions that are designed to give riders the maximum amount of time on the bike while focussing on skill development; it will be a great opportunity to learn in a fun environment with like-minded people. A big part of the feedback process is using video analysis, this is only one of the ways the coaches will be able to support your skill development. By creating a beginner friendly environment where it is ok to not know! it's hoped you will have the opportunity to ask those questions you have always had but never asked!

The session will start at 9am. The exact timings and content of the session will be confirmed closer to the time. The cost will be £10 per person, payable on the day.

This is a fantastic opportunity for women to be part of a specific coaching session before the start of the Women and Veterans Series round 3, which takes place on 22nd August at Balfron.

We would like to encourage as many women along to this session as possible whether experienced or novice riders.

If you would like to book a space on both or one of these sessions and haven't already done so please contact the Events Coordinator Ruth Volley on 0131 317 9704 or email ruth.volley@scottishcycling.org.uk.
