British Cycling have given the go-ahead for coached youth sessions to start up again so we are planning to restart Saturday morning sessions on 4th July, please mark it in your calendars!
There will be some major changes which will make the sessions feel very different from before in areas like bike checks, rider briefing, smaller coaching group sizes, arrival and departure procedures, first aid provision, advance online booking and cashless payments.
Detailed session instructions will be circulated to all members during week commencing 22 June. Rest assured that we are all working to make our return to the track a safe and fun experience not just for riders, but for volunteers, coaches and parents too. If we identify any risks that we don’t feel can be safely managed then we will postpone opening until we are happy that it is safe enough to do so.
All being well, we hope to see you on the 4th!
