The Go Ride club is all set to start on the 24th April from 9:00 to 10:30 at RobertBloomfield Middle School in Shefford.
Go Ride is a British Cycling scheme to get youngsters involved in cycle sport. This involves a progressive series of coaching sessions aimed at developing skills needed for various cycle sport disciplines.
What the children see however is a series of fun and safe activities such as riding around a conned set of obstacles, under limbo bars, etc to teach them techniques such as turning, braking, gear selection and a range of other skills.
The club is aimed at middle school ages and below, if they can ride a bike we have activities for them. You will need a serviceable bike and helmet. Mitts/ gloves and suitable clothing (something water proof) and a drink are also advisable.
Hopefully this six weeks will be a success and we can establish a regular club possibly with some grass track races in the summer for those that want to compete.
The first session on the 24th April is free. The cost of the next 6 weeks is £13, reduced to £9 for Beds Road Cycle Club members. Enrolment will be on the day but places will be limited so if you want to secure places can you please let me know names and ages. Reserve a place by emailing go-ride@bedsroad.org with the name and age of the child.
