Go Ride

Go-Ride

Go-Ride is British Cycling’s programme for teaching children the skills & techniques needed to be safe rider. The programme provides a fun and safe way to introduce young riders to the world of cycle sport and provides a platform to improve bike handling skills.

West Suffolk Wheelers provide outdoor Go-Ride sessions in the summer months and indoor training during the winter.

Go-Ride Outdoor Sessions

When: Every Tuesday 6.30 - 7.30pm in term time (from April to July).
Where: Wheelers HQ in the grounds of Priory school (Shakers Lane entrance), Bury St Edmunds IP32 7BH.
Who: Sessions are suitable for riders aged 6 and over, (younger riders may be able to take part at discretion of coaches). Level of riding skill does not matter.
What: Riders need to bring a working bike & wear a helmet. Clothing needs to be suitable for the weather & cycling. Drinks may be brought to session.
More info: Helen Ballam ballam@sky.com (01284 706522)

Sessions are held in a traffic free environment run by qualified cycling coaches. Children work in groups on a skill & gradually build these up to use in race / ride situation. Each child works to their own level.

Parents/guardians will be asked to complete registration form & consent. Please let us know of any health issues we need to be aware of.

Sessions are free to family members of West Suffolk Wheelers & Tri club. Non-members are charged £3 per week for the first 5 sessions (£15 in total). After 5 sessions you will automatically become a junior member of the club and future sessions will be free.

Feel free to turn up to a session or contact lead coach Helen Ballam for more information. ballam@sky.com (01284 706522)

Track Day at Welwyn Velodrome‏

We usually organise a session at the Welwyn Track each year, to provide an opportunity for members to have a try at track riding, aimed at youngsters and adults, novices and experienced. There will be tuition from regular trackies, and plenty of chance to learn how to do it and train fitness and track craft.

The track is outdoors, 500 metres, tarmac. It is very good fun, and a great experience even if you don‘t intend to ride track regularly.

We have been offered a two hour session on Saturday May 26, 11.30 -1.30. We would leave BSE about 9, travel in convoy. Return to BSE about 4. There would be a cost per rider of about £10, plus £5 to hire a bike. (fixed wheel, no brakes ~ but don’t worry ~ its safer like tha
