These sessions are aimed at developing track riders technique and skill.  Session format:

The three groups wil be working on a 20min rotation basis which will ensure that each group gets 1 hour of track time. Each group will work with the same coach over the full 3 hour session to ensure riders are benefitting from coach experience on and off the track.

Novice Group - This session is for 16 and under aged riders who have no or little prior track riding experience - general guideline: would be 0 - 4 hours previous track time.

Intermediate Group - This session is for 16 and under aged riders who have moderate track riding experience - general guideline: 4+ hours previous track time. Riders must be able to ride anywhere on the track, ride and change position in line safely.  

Advanced Group - This group is for riders aged 16 and under who have a lot of experience in track cycling and are preparing for the accreditation with the venue.

Info for Riders

Acceptance - Priority for acceptance to this event will initially go to club members of the following clubs listed below. 

Newport Shropshire, Beeston, Solihull, Beacon Roads CC, Melton, Lyme , Stafford and Matlock 

If riders from those clubs don't take all available spaces by Thursday 7th November, we will accept applications from riders who are members of clubs in other Clusters.

Riders will then be accepted, in order of entry date, for unfilled spaces in each ability group. (For example, the first entered Intermediate rider would take priority over an earlier entered Novice rider if there was space in Intermediate, but not Novice. Hope that makes sense!). To be clear, Cluster 1 riders will have no priority over riders from other Clusters after 7th November so the onus is on them to enter before this date. Even then, acceptance is not guaranteed as groups may fill with Cluster 1 riders who entered early.

In the unlikely event that groups are not filled even after accepting riders from other Clusters, we may accept entries riders in Go-Ride clubs not in the Cluster programme.

Acceptance remains at the discretion of the organiser.  We reserve the right to alter the size and number of ability groups at any time.

Novice Riders - please let us know the level of track riding experience. This is because we may split the group into those with some experience and complete novices.

Age - Riders must be aged from 9 to 16 years on the date of the event.  We will reject applications from any riders born after 24 November 2010.
