The West Midlands Region are going to be running a series of four track coaching sessions at the Halesowen velodrome for novice/beginner riders on fixed wheel bikes on Saturdays in July and August.

PLEASE NOTE, DUE TO LACK OF DEMAND, THESE SESSIONS HAVE BEEN POSTPONED UNTIL A LATER DATE. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION, PLEASE CONTACT JESS POTTS ON 07773 815 527 OR JESSICAPOTTS90@HOTMAIL.COM.

• Saturday 20th July

• Saturday 27th July (provisional at this time)

• Saturday 3rd August

• Saturday 10th August

The sessions will run from 10 - 11.25am for under 12s and 11.35am - 1pm for under 14s & under 16s. Each session will be restricted to a maximum of 20 riders and will concentrate on building sufficient skills for riders to be able to pass their track accreditation. If spaces are available the later session will be open to riders of any age. Sessions will need to start promptly so we ask that all riders are track side at least 10 minutes before the session starts.

Riders do not have to be members of Go-Ride clubs but they do need to be British Cycling members. Cost for each session will be £4 per rider. Riders will need to have their own fixed wheel bike suitable for track use. Riders will need to bring their own helmets and track gloves, plus suitable clothing for the day. Breaks will be included so please bring suitable drinks and light food.

Riders can book onto the course by contacting the coach for the sessions Jess Potts on 07773 815527 or e-mail on jessicapotts90@hotmail.com

This session is open to all young novice riders so please pass these details onto fellow club members.
