SheCycles.com and the www.surreyleague.co.uk joined forces in the autumn to offer a series of women's specific road riding coaching sessions throughout the winter months and due to the success of the road coaching day at Hillingdon on 15th October we've fixed another date - Sunday 10th December. Get the date in your diary and come along for a road coaching session with coach John Leitch and the SheCycles team.
The session aims to give women both the knowledge and technical skills for comfortable riding on a road bike, whether it be for commuting, training or even some racing. The circuit is closed to cars and will be used exclusively by SheCycles for the day.
The coaching is designed to accommodate all standards and fitness levels, so come along and meet some like-minded riders and enjoy the good company.
The idea of the day is to help you get the most out of your riding and includes:
John Leitch, a fully qualified BCF coach, who will provide coaching for the ride sessions. John has worked tirelessly to encourage women of all standards, ages and backgrounds to improve their cycling experience and ability.
CycleFit will be providing mini-consultations, but numbers are restricted to six in total. If you'd like a personal fitting session you need to request one when you book onto the coaching day (see below for details). They will be on a first come first served basis….editors decision is final!
Due to reduced daylight hours in December, this coaching session will be shorter than the extensive one held on 15th October. We will be running a full event-style coaching day with all the bells and whistles in the New Year.
