Go Ride Cyclo-Cross Coaching - Sat 19 January 2013

Hitchin Nomads will be competing in the Team Trisports Cyclo-Cross race which is to be held at Hitchin Boys' School on 20 Jan 2013.


*** Coaching has been cancelled due to inclement weather ***

As part of the club's ongoing development and outreach programme we will be running a Go Ride coaching session on Saturday 19th January 2013. We can coach riders from ages 6-16 but we assume that all riders have basic bike handling ability and can ride without stabilisers.
 
If you are interested please contact Simon Doyle or Nick Senechal.

The cost of coaching is FOC to Hitchin Nomads members, £3 non-members per rider. Places allocated on a first come, first served basis. Riders will need a mountain bike or cyclo-cross bike in good working order.

Safety helmets are mandatory. No helmet, no ride. All riders must also have a completed consent form which they can bring along on the day.

Coaching venue: The venue is currently pencilled in as Pinehill Fields, which is between Chiltern Road and Benslow Rise in Hitchin. Access via Chiltern Road and parking at that side of the site are suggested.  Map Pinehill Fields

Parental consent form: Consent form
