SRC GO-Ride Cycle Coaching

All you need to know about HSBC UK Go-Ride

•Clubs for kids: Go-Ride Clubs are for riders under 18, with fun at the heart of high quality coaching sessions and a clear pathway for progression.

•Gives parents peace of mind: All coaches hold a British Cycling qualification and are DBS-checked, plus Go-Ride sessions will always take place in traffic-free areas.

•Easy to get involved: Just like any sports club, the emphasis is on regular, local and affordable activities to make it easy to keep coming back and create a sporting habit for life.

Here at SRC we run 3 groups at coaching sessions. Beginners, intermediate and advanced, this way we can cater to all riders needs and no riders will be placed in a group that is out of the riders depth, all we ask is that riders need to be able to pedal their bikes without stabilisers. SRC coaches provide a fun and safe way to introduce young riders to the world of cycle sport and improve bike handling skills. All coaching sessions are run in an off road traffic-free area.

What to bring – weekly Go-Ride sessions

Bike – Any kind of normal bike will be suitable (hybrid, leisure, cycle cross, mountain bike or BMX) as long as it is in safe working order, especially the brakes, tyres and steering. The bikes will be checked by one of the coaches prior to each session but they will not be able to rectify any but the smallest problems.

Clothing – clothing for cycling needs to be comfortable for the weather conditions with no baggy trousers that can get caught on the chain, shoes with laces tucked away, and most important of all – a cycle helmet and gloves.

The cycle helmet will be checked by the coaches to ensure it is safe. Gloves are important to protect young hands in case of a fall.

Drink – even in cold weather, sporting activity makes you thirsty and a bottle of water or juice should be brought along.

Cost – each session will be charged at £2 per rider to cover the cost of venue hire and insurance. Non-members are currently not being accepted for coaching, but are welcome to come along and watch to see what we do. If you like what you see, you can join the club to attend future sessions. Please see HERE for details on joining the club.

Parental Consent – each participant will need permission from a parent or legal guardian and a form will need to be completed by the parent/guardian at the first session they attend. Parents are encouraged to attend the session although they may wish to leave older riders. Parental Consent Forms can be downloaded from the Facebook page. Parental Consent Form

Contact – Paul Bullock at go-ride@staffordrc.org if you need further information or if you require a parental consent form.
