Youngsters' chance to take the cycling challenge this Easter

If you�re aged between 9 and 16 yrs of age and can ride a bike, there�s a cycling session for you this Easter at Wales National Velodrome!  Whatever your ability there�ll be a class for you.  There�s Mountain Biking around the site, skills tests, mini races and competitions outside.  Indoors on the Velodrome there�s sessions for everyone from track beginners taking their first chance to �Attack the Track� and record a time for 1 Lap; through to Premiere Track Sessions with Wales and GB�s Olympic Programme coaches for the very experienced young riders.

All riders in Attack the Track sessions receive a personalised �I Attacked the Track� Certificate along with a Velodrome memento recording their lap time.

Any young rider who comes along to 3 or more sessions during the holidays will receive a special Go-Ride Challenge Award medal and a goodie bag!

Due to a limited amount of places all sessions must be booked in advance.  The cycling classes are based at Wales National Velodrome, Newport International Sports Village Newport NP19 4PS.

For the outdoor sessions you�ll need to bring your own bike, in good working order, and for the track sessions, we can provide you with a fixed wheel track bike, or you can bring your own if you have one. Helmets and gloves will be provided, but you are encouraged to bring your own if you have them.
