Event Description

  • Ideal for those new to cycling, nervous of joining club rides or wanting to learn a few more skills

 

  • Coached session in Richmond Park, followed by uncoached group ride in the Park

 

  • Either meet at 0830 at Brockwell Lido or approx. 0930 at Roehampton Gate car park at Richmond Park. If you’re meeting at Roehampton Gate car park please DM Nick Flower with your contact number so he can let you know when we leave Brockwell Park.

 

  • We’ll begin with a quick introduction to group riding in Brockwell Park (be there on time to meet because we’ll be going somewhere else in the park to do the group riding skills), then an uncoached ride to Richmond Park.

 

  • Then we’ll do a 60 min long session on the inner tracks of Richmond Park covering basic bike handling skills, cornering, descending and ascending. And then finish with optional, uncoached laps of Richmond Park.

 

  • Aimed at beginners but anyone is welcome to attend. Ideal if you want to brush up on your bike skills ahead of the season.

 

  • Please come dressed appropriately, some of the skills work will involve moving slowly so make sure you don’t get too cold! Temperatures are looking dry but around 6 degrees.

 

  • If anyone wants to join us for the ride out, you’d be very welcome.

 

  • Coached by Nick Flower

 

  • Coffee and cake afterwards in the cafe!

 

  • Please make sure you sign up if you want to come/ cancel if you change your mind, so that we can plan appropriately based on numbers coming

 

(*uncoached means, as with all group rides, the club and ride leader bears no responsibility).

Yes thanks Nick for this mornings session. Great to get back in the saddle after a long break. (Note to self,  'shorts not a good idea, and over shoes a good idea)

Hi,

For those joining tomorrow just a reminder of things to also bring along:

- Winter cycling clothing - gloves, overshoes, buffs etc. Also I would recommend an extra rain jacket or similar you can put in the back of cycle jersey - you may get cold when doing some of the slower skills before laps or at coffee after.

- Bike pump or co2, spare inner tubes, bike tools

- Nutrition and water

Weather is still looking great. Quite a chilly start around 3oc but the sunshine will be out!!

See you at brockwell lido carpark at 0830 or Rohamption Gate if you have already told me to pick you up there.

Nick
