HSBC UK Go-Ride Holiday Coaching Camps offer training and education dedicated to specific levels of rider over a range of disciplines. Camps are available at two levels.

If your child is new to cycling or not a regular at a club or races then the beginners camps are for them. These offer the participant a chance to develop and become proficient at a range of core cycling and bike handling techniques that will prepare them for their first club session or race.

If your child has experience of racing and is a Go-Ride Club regular then there are advanced camps. There will be the chance to improve on the skills developed at their club as well as look at techniques across disciplines that will progress your child to the next level of their cycling journey.

Info for Riders

Part of the HSBC UK Go-Ride programme, holiday camps provide a fun and safe way to introduce young riders to the world of cycle sport and improve bike handling skills.

Suitable for

8-16 year olds.

Riders will be split in to two groups for the session, selected on experience and ability.

Group 1 - New to cycling or not a regular at a Go-Ride club or races.

Group 2 - Regular at a Go-Ride Club and may have some experience of racing.

Please note: ALL participants must already be competent bike riders. All riders must be able to follow instructions and must want to take part in coached cycling activities. Unfortunately we are unable to take novice cyclists, i.e. those who cannot yet ride a bike.

What to expect - Fun structured sessions which focus on core cycling and bike handling techniques to help riders gain confidence, learn new techniques and ride with others on a real cyclo-cross course.

The sessions will run from 1pm – 3.30pm (Sign on from 12.45pm). There may be some places available on the day but it is best to book in advance to avoid disappointment.

This is a great opportunity to learn more about Cyclo-Cross so come along prepared to have a go and try some new techniques.

All riders are required to:

• Sign-on and be ready 10 minutes prior to start of the session.
• Bring a cyclo-cross or mountain bike in good working order.
• Wear a helmet.
• Wear gloves (recommended). 
• Dress appropriately for the weather conditions.
• Bring enough food and drink for the duration of a 2.5hr session.
• Fill out a consent form and return to organiser if under the age of 16
