Want to get involved in cycling? Scottish Cycling is currently working with the Borders Sport & Leisure Trust to organise a 16 week Mountain Bike coaching programme that aims to teach yougsters how to handle a bike, improve their basic skills and start to teach them the basics of racing!
By getting involved at a Go-Ride Club, a full qualified Scottish Cycling coach will have them getting to grips with gears, balancing with brilliance, cornering like you’re on rails – everything needed to get ready to race!
Also every four weeks there will be a mini fun race that will be staged at Tweedbank Sports Complex where youngsters will put into practice what they have learnt against riders from the other participation centres.
The Participation centre programme will culminate in the Annual Borders Schools Cross Country Championships on Thursday 25th September in Galashields.
