Join us for complete beginner and developer-friendly Cyclocross coaching.

These sessions are a block, that covers all the basic Cyclocross skills that you need to take part in a race. However, you can come to 1, 2 or all 3 sessions and our coaches will meet you where you are. Each session will see you explore a range of Cyclocross and general bike-handling skills – from riding varied terrain and cornering to dismounting and carrying or running with your bike – in a fun, supportive environment. No previous off road experience required.

This series of sessions is held ahead of the Summer races at HHV and there will be light encouragement to get you and your new skills involved…If you are an experienced cyclocross rider consider our Thursday evening Adult Cyclocross Race Training sessions.
